rancid will send a notification email if it has not been able to
contact a device for 24hours, the below is from control_rancid

# If any machines have not been reached within the last $OLDTIME
# hours, mail out a list of them.
cd $DIR/configs
rm -f $DIR/routers.failed
if [ "X$OLDTIME" = "X" ] ; then
    OLDTIME=24
fi
