We should expand this to include
/etc/anacrontab
in addition to the default/etc/crontab
What I did was this:
`CRONTAB='/etc/crontab /etc/anacrontab'
and then I removed the quotes and routed any errors to null (to hide missing files)
cat ${CRONTAB} 2>/dev/null | clean_cron_lines | lookup_run_parts >"${temp}"
actually this may not be enough, I still do not see results for weekly or monthly
You should modify lookup_run_parts
to correctly parse anacron entries. From my fork:
# sames as lookup_run_parts, but 5 fields, not 6
function lookup_anacron_parts() {
while read line ; do
match=$(echo "${line}" | egrep -o 'run-parts (-{1,2}\S+ )*\S+')
if [[ -z "${match}" ]] ; then
echo "${line}"
else
cron_fields=$(echo "${line}" | cut -f1-5 -d' ')
cron_job_dir=$(echo "${match}" | awk '{print $NF}')
if [[ -d "${cron_job_dir}" ]] ; then
for cron_job_file in "${cron_job_dir}"/* ; do # */ <not a comment>
[[ -f "${cron_job_file}" ]] && echo "${cron_fields} ${cron_job_file}"
done
fi
fi
done;
}

Try to add this code for weekly, monthly, etc. scripts, before "Output the collected crontab lines".
The run time assigned for each job is an aproximation extracted from https://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/5.2/Deployment_Guide/s2-autotasks-cron-configuring.html ... and can vary from one system to another.
