Description

Does supercronic support to load all crontabs files in a specific directory? Something like crond service does with /etc/cron.d/.

As a workaround I could add an entrypoint an merge all of them in a single file, but I would love to simply run supercronic /path/to/cron/files/, or similar.

Research direction

Start with supercronic's command-line input handling and the crontab loading path. Compare the requested directory behavior with /etc/cron.d/, then determine how a path containing multiple crontab files should be handled. Done means supercronic can accept a directory path and load all of its crontab files.
