[rancid] Rancid 3.7 and Comware

[David Chapman]

We recently upgraded an old Rancid install and had problems with Comware.  I found the new updated plugin for Rancid 3 and I realize this is not supported but wondering if some help could be provided.

The issue is one of our comware switches supports exit and quit while most typically only support quit so its not detecting it as a clean run.  It errors with “End of run not found”


---- Except from cmw.pm----
        if (/[\]>#]\a?\s*quit/) {
        #if (/[>#]\s?exit$/) {
            $clean_run = 1;
            last;
        }
----raw file---
#
return
<XXXXXXX>exit
Connection to XXXXXX closed.

---raw file if non affected switch---

return
<YYYYYY>exit
              ^
 % Unrecognized command found at '^' position.
<YYYYYYY>quit
Connection to YYYYYYY closed.
