[rancid] Rancid 3.1 control_rancid errors when there are diffs

Wed Mar 11 18:30:05 UTC 2015

Thanks Lee,
     You're exactly right.  I changed all of the 
 )| -t $MAILOPTSlines to  )| sendmail -t $MAILOPTS
and mail is being sent.  Just need to get my aliases straightened out so that they get sent to the right email address.  Thanks!

You don't have a program called "-t" so yes, it's going to complain about " -t: not found"

I have no idea how postfix works -- maybe piping the output of all those echo commands to

  postfix -t $MAILOPTS

will send you mail, in which case you need to change all the

  )| -t $MAILOPTS

lines to

  )| postfix -t $MAILOPTS

I have a similar issue running 3.1.99, but using postfix.  I get the error "/home/rancid/bin/control_rancid: 631: /home/rancid/bin/control_rancid: -t: not found".  I had the same issue before upgrading (was running 3.1).  "        ) |  -t $MAILOPTS"
 is the line of the control_rancid where it hangs.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

 if [ $MAXSZ -eq 0 ] ; then
        (
          echo "To: $mailrcpt"
          echo "Subject: $subject"
          echo "$MAILHEADERS" | awk '{L = "";LN = $0;while (LN ~ /\\n/) { I = index(LN,"\\n");L = L substr(LN,0,I-1) "\n";LN = substr(LN,I+2,length(LN)-I-1);}print L LN;}'
          echo ""
          cat $TMP.diff
        ) |  -t $MAILOPTS

# Additional options for sendmail(8).
#MAILOPTS="-f bounces.go.here at example.com"; export MAILOPTS

I had the same problem after building rancid on a machine that didn't have sendmail installed.  Install sendmail and edit control_rancid to change all the

  no -t $MAILOPTS

to

  sendmail -t $MAILOPTS

I have installed rancid 3.1 and have it working on a Ubuntu install.  It works and collects diffs and shows them in the repository and i have the cvs web working, but i cannot get it to e-mail me the diffs and am getting an error
 in the var/logs only when there are diffs.  it errors on the control_rancid portion of it i can send mail through postfix with both the sendmail and mail command.  I installed postfix after sendmail fail as i thought it was my problem.  Below is the log of
 both and the control_rancid, and yes i am a newbie
