[rancid] New device type

I'm getting closer.

rancid.types.conf now looks like this:-
hirschmann;script;rancid -t hirschmann
hirschmann;login;hmlogin
hirschmann;module;hirschmann
hirschmann;inloop;hirschmann::inloop
hirschmann;command;hirschmann::ShowConfig;show running-config

Output now looks like this:-
-bash-4.2$ rancid -d -thirschmann 192.168.254.103
loadtype: device type hirschmann
loadtype: found device type hirschmann in /etc/rancid/rancid.types.conf
executing hmlogin -t 90 -c"show running-config" 192.168.254.103
PROMPT MATCH:
HIT COMMAND:(Hirschmann Railswitch) #show running-config
HIT COMMAND:(Hirschmann Railswitch) #show running-config
    In ShowConfig: (Hirschmann Railswitch) #show running-config
    Exiting ShowConfig:
192.168.254.103: End of run not found
192.168.254.103: End of run not found
!--WLC End Config Data--!
-bash-4.2$

.raw file still looks correct.

.new file looks like:-
!RANCID-CONTENT-TYPE: hirschmann
!

!--WLC Begin Config Data--!

!--WLC End Config Data--!

Ideas?

Cheers,
Rod.
