[rancid] rancid not keeping the newly created .new file

[MALAPELLE, FRANCK]

Hi John,

Alurancid is fine, it can log in and create a file of the configuration :
rancid at bt1shs08:~/bin$ alurancid -d routerA
executing alulogin -t 90 -c"show chassis environment;show chassis power-supply;admin display-config;show system information;show redundancy synchronization" routerA
PROMPT MATCH: "A:routerA#"
HIT COMMAND:A:routerA#  show chassis environment
    In ShowHw: A:routerA#  show chassis environment
HIT COMMAND:A:routerA# show chassis power-supply
    In ShowPwr: A:routerA# show chassis power-supply
HIT COMMAND:A:routerA# admin display-config
    In ShowConfig: A:routerA# admin display-config
HIT COMMAND:A:routerA# show system information
    In ShowSysinfo: A:routerA# show system information
HIT COMMAND:A:routerA# show redundancy synchronization
    In ShowRedSync: A:routerA# show redundancy synchronization

The file is there with all the conf.

However, when I run rancid-run I can see the .new file during the process but it then disappears...
I just can't explain it.

Franck

the parsing of the received data is probably failing in alurancid.  see the
group's logfile and dry alurancid -d hostname.
