[rancid] Re: Trouble automating TFTP downloading using clogin

[David Croft]

Your script may be stalling on a prompt. I use this script to turn off
file prompts before the copy:

clogin -c "conf t; file prompt quiet; exit; copy
scp://user:pass@server/$script running-config; conf t; no file prompt
quiet" $router
