[rancid] Re: How do i downgrade from 2.3.2a9 to 2.3.2a8

Thu Feb 26 17:18:43 UTC 2009

If I run clogin -c "show time" <switch> it will do the set length 0 and it looks like its waiting for something.
While its waiting I try to type show run, and it just freezes on me and times out.

If I just do clogin <switch> than I can enter whatever I want and there are no timeouts

Mina,

I am assuming with user interaction it works just fine versus running
the command as a passed in argument.

John,

Any idea why it would recognize the prompt enough to send set term
length 0 but not recognize it afterwards?
