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

[Allen Tsang]

zomg lulz! holy moly i-can-see-forever-levels of phail, this reminds me 
of the hijinks that the eventual biz-tech refugees pulled on a daily 
basis in CS111 ^^;;;;

Sorry, I'm being mean.... please do a 'man router.db'.  most of the 
answers to your questions lie there; you specify plenty of conditions 
for your routers and will get a nice filtered amount of logging 
information via email.  it's the whole point of rancid!

OTOH, I see that you're just surfing on the back of the expect script to 
run a custom command.... I'll tell you how, but holy moly please learn 
to properly write proper bash scripts!!!... (e.g. use a real list, dude, 
that's the most ugly if statement I've seen in years and years and years):

LIST="6 12 14 16 19 23"
for element in $LIST do
     LOGGING=10.0.0.$element
     clogin -x /home/rancid/cmds.txt 10.0.0.$element
done

Use the "LOGGING" environmental variable in your custom clogin script to 
output wherever you want your output to be.

repeat if you so desire, for ips in other ranges.  And please learn to 
script properly! :D
