Hi,
I had a similar problem with the width of the terminal, so when the device was out of sync, the prompt was becoming longer and some of the commands failed to be parsed.
I had to change in f5rancid the line:
$ENV{'TERM'} = "vt100";
to:
$ENV{'TERM'} = "vt100-w";
Regards,
John

Hi there

I was hoping someone had come across this issue.

We are using Rancid to collect diffs from our  BIG-IP clusters (as per bash script below)
It works really well but are now facing an issue for reason unknown that when the cluster is not synced the rancid fails and reports fetcher issues.
If I run the bash script below manually on each device it works without issue.
As soon the cluster is synced it works fine ..

It appears that TMSH is not allowing the script to work but it works fine if I run it manually on the BIG-IP

What could be the problem ?

Thank you

Shaun

Thank your for the reply ---

i have created a bash script on the F5 and it works creating a
test.file with all the config
the file is in /root/f5part

#!/bin/bash
tmsh -q -c 'cd / ;list recursive'

how do i call from f5rancid or do i have this all wrong ?

{'tmsh -q list' => 'WriteTermTMSH'},
#{'tmsh -q -c /"cd /;list recursive"/' => 'WriteTermTMSH'},
