[rancid] Re: Newbie Question...sorry!

[Chris Stave]

I've made a script to call clogin, our devices are numbered fairly
sequentially, from 10.0.0.1 to 10.0.0.86 with cluster members getting
10.0.1.x and 10.0.2.x , etc...
I put whatever commands I want to run into cmds.txt and then make sure that
the switches I want those commands run on are represented in the script.  A
slight change to this would be to put the actual command you want to run in
in place of the cmds.txt, which would make it easy to specify the ip address
as a filename for the log.

This obviously works better if your devices are all similarly numbered.

I've appended the script, but do note that it won't work for you without
changes, but just as an example of how I did it.  I suspect that there is a
cleaner way to do the conditional statements, but this way worked for me.
(As a bonus, is there an easy way to avoid the repeated "-o $i =" in the
script below?)
