[rancid] Rancid isn't scanning the f5s from cron job.

[Matt Almgren]

Very strange behavior here that I can’t pinpoint.

When the cron job runs once per day, it doesn’t scan our f5s in multiple locations.  But when I run “rancid-run” manually (with no args) it picks them up – no problem.

Cron: 59 9 * * * /usr/lib/rancid/bin/rancid-run

router.db:
<snip>
mt-lr01.endor.lan:juniper:up
mt-lb03.endor.lan:f5:up
mt-lb04.endor.lan:f5:up
<snip>

Files:
-rw-r----- 1 rancid rancid 1072279 Jul  8 11:36 mt-lb04.endor.lan
-rw-r----- 1 rancid rancid 1072475 Jul  8 11:36 mt-lb03.endor.lan

-rw-r----- 1 rancid rancid   22211 Jul 10 10:01 mt-er02.endor.lan

Again, running manually, it works just fine.

The logs from the cron job show me what I already know:

But when I run it manually:



Trying to get all of the configs.
All routers sucessfully completed.



Anyone have any clues/ideas?

Thanks, Matt
