That did the trick!!   Thank you very much.

Does that simply change the output to wide-mode or similar?

HI,

try changing in f5rancid this one:
$ENV{'TERM'} = "vt100";

to:
$ENV{'TERM'} = "vt100-w";

Regards,
John

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

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
