On Linux, Autosending works by putting links to scripts in the /etc/cron.*
directories (e.g., /etc/cron.daily).  These files are named playsms-*.sh (e.g.,
playsms-daily.sh).

cron uses the "run-parts" utility to run every script in the various 
directories.  As
it turns out, run-parts ignores files that use periods/extensions (!).

The solution is to change the name of the cron scripts to not have extensions.
