[rancid] Force a disconnect after running some commands?

[psmith at metafore.ca]

Many thanks to John for his assistance so far..

My final issue is this.

My script runs a bunch of commands, and the final command is after doing a
firmware update. The final command is "reset save-config yes no-prompt".
The Netscreen then returns the line "In reset ..."

Done
harv5007->  reset save-config yes no-prompt
In reset ...

However, Rancid appears to hang at this point, until I do  CTRL-C to break
the script. Is there any way to have nlogin ends its run when it see the
"In reset" part?

I am trying to automate as much of this project I am working on, and I have
the master shell script email the results from the firmware upgrade and
config changes after nlogin works its magic.

However at this point, with nlogin hanging, the email is not sent until the
CTRL-C is issued.

Any advice?
