Then how about
/etc/rc.modules:
#! /bin/sh
# Don't modify this file, instead create a module loading script
# under /etc/rc.modules.d
for x in `ls /etc/rc.modules.d/* 2>/dev/null | \
LC_ALL=C grep -v '~$'`; do
Whitelisting filenames in cases like this is better than blacklisting.
The above fails to ignore for example *.rpmsave, *.rpmorig, *.rpmnew,
#*, core(.\d+)?, etc. Maybe "LC_ALL=C grep '.sh$'; do". Also, the
order of the snippet loading should be predictable, so LC_ALL or
LC_COLLATE should be set to eg. "C" before "ls".
test -x $x && $x
Testing that $x is a file (or at least not a directory) would be nice
for completeness.
