Hello!
Additional infor from cron man page (NOTES section):
Additionally, cron reads the files in /etc/cron.d: it treats the files
in /etc/cron.d as in the same way as the /etc/crontab file (they follow
the special format of that file, i.e. they include the user field).
However, they are independent of /etc/crontab: they do not, for
example, inherit environment variable settings from it. The intended
purpose of this feature is to allow packages that require finer control
of their scheduling than the /etc/cron.{daily,weekly,monthly}
directories to add a crontab file to /etc/cron.d. Such files should
be named after the package that supplies them.
Files must conform to the same naming convention as used by
run-parts(8): they must consist solely of upper- and lower-case letters,
digits, underscores, and hyphens.
If the -l option is specified, then they must conform to the LSB
namespace specification, exactly as in the --lsbsysinit option in run-parts.
So i think You may change name "request-tracker3.8" to something conform
run-parts(8) naming convention.
