[rancid] help request after I developed new module 'vnxrancid', but it don't save output properly to configs directory

[danielc at vmware.com]

I backtracked my changes to which part of the changes caused the rancid-run to fail.
I think I broke my variation of the fnrancid when I attempted to get the prompt to be recognized.
As stand-alone, vnxrancid -d vnx01 appear to be able to generate the vnx01.raw and vnx01.new files when NOPIPE=yes was engaged.

The prompt looks like the following during a ssh:
[nasadmin at r2778-vnx01cs0 ~]$ 

In looking at the .raw file, it looks like a there is an escape sequence:
^[]0;nasadmin at r2778-vnx01cs0:~^G[nasadmin at r2778-vnx01cs0 ~]$ ^M




    while (/^.+(#|\$)\s*($cmds_regexp)\s*$/) {
	$cmd = $2;
	# - FortiGate prompts end with either '#' or '$'. Further, they may
	# be prepended with a '~' if the hostname is too long. Therefore, 
	# we need to figure out what our prompt really is.
#	if (!defined($prompt)) {
#	    if ($_ =~ m/^.+\~\$/) {
#		$prompt = '\~\$ .*';
#	    } else {
#		if ($_ =~ m/^.+\$/) {
#		    $prompt = ' \$ .*';
#		} else {
#		    if ($_ =~ m/^.+\~#/) {
#			$prompt = '\~# .*';
#		    } else {
#			if ($_ =~ m/^.+#/) {
#			    $prompt = ' # .*';
#			}
#		    }
#		}
#	    }
#	}

        print STDERR ("line:$_\ncmd:$2\n") if ($debug);
        if (!defined($prompt)) {
            print STDERR ("PROMPT0 MATCH: $1\n") if ($debug);
#            $prompt = ($_ =~ /^([^#]+#)/)[0];
            $prompt = ($_ =~ /^([^\$]+\$)/)[0];
            print STDERR ("PROMPT1 MATCH: $prompt\n") if ($debug);
#            $prompt =~ s/([][}{)(\\])/\\$1/g;
            print STDERR ("PROMPT2 MATCH: $prompt\n") if ($debug);
#            $prompt =~ s/[\$]//g;
            print STDERR ("PROMPT3 MATCH: $prompt\n") if ($debug);
        }

Nevermind.

I used ProcessHistory("","","","","!field:$_");
 so all the lines in the .new are practically comments as there is no "configuration" to capture as such.

I think that would be it. Trying now.

Sorry,
Daniel Chen

I hacked fnlogin/fnrancid pair to do some EMC VNX commands on their RHAT/Linux shell, but the only a portion of the output is not being checked into the configs directory.

I have done the following:
 NOPIPE=yes;export NOPIPE
 vnxrancid -d vnx01

I get the two files: vnx01.raw and vnx01.new

But if I do just:
 rancid-run -r vnx01 testing

The .../var/testing/configs/vnx01 file only has saved some lines like: 
!RANCID-CONTENT-TYPE: vnxrancid

The contents of the vnx01.new file looks perfect (in my opinion)

I noticed that the end of the vnx01.raw file still have lots of control characters, is this interfering with the rancid-run
^M
^[]0;nasadmin at r2778-vnx01cs0:~^G[nasadmin at r2778-vnx01cs0 ~]$ ^M
^[]0;nasadmin at r2778-vnx01cs0:~^G[nasadmin at r2778-vnx01cs0 ~]$ exit^M
logout^M
^[[H^[[2JConnection to vnx01 closed.^M^M

whereas an UCS, N7K, Vyatta device the .raw file is much cleaner.
