[rancid] Email notification with RANCID

[Michael Lee]

Hi,

Really appreciate your reply. Yeah, however I am trying to list out all the devices and backup status in a list. By the way, do you know anyway to send the configuration diff using html format in an EMAIL similar to what we see on VIEWVC?


BR,
Michael

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
