[rancid] problem running command files on Netscreens using nlogin - x

[psmith at metafore.ca]

Netscreen configs contain "" around arguments...

Such as the following:

set interface "tunnel.1" zone "VPN-Zone"
set interface "tunnel.2" zone "VPN-Zone"

So I have these commands and many others in a file, and run nlogin with -x
to call the command file. I assume Rancid is quitting after it sees the
first set of "", thinking it is the end of the commands.

Can anyone tell me how I can get around this? When I have run nlogin with
-c, I had to use it like follows:

nlogin -c 'set console timeout 0;set route x.x.x.x/32 vrouter "untrust-vr"
preference 20; save soft from tftp xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx ns5gt.5.3.0fz1.0 to
flash; reset save-config yes no-prompt' -t 30000 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

However, with the number of commands I need run, using -c would be huge. If
I need to though I will, but maybe this could be fixed easily or quickly?

Thanks!
