Sorry, forgot the –c. I’m running clogin for some diagnostic stuff, but the same principle applies:
su -l -c "clogin -x stackstate-error-cmds.txt ${device}" rancid

~ # su –l “/tmp/test.sh” rancid
No passwd entry for user '–l'

I fixed that by running:
su –l “/tmp/test.sh” rancid
The “-l” says to make it a login shell so the environment variables will load.

Well it didn’t run because when I su rancid and execute:
/root $ /tmp/test.sh
bash: /tmp/test.sh: /bin/sh^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
running: sh /tmp/test.sh
produces a log file with the following content:
/root
How to fix the script?

I’m not sure if your answer means that the problem is solved now or not; if it isn’t, please add the following testscript as a cronjob and check the output:
Create the file „/tmp/envtest.sh“ with the following content:
#!/bin/sh
export > /tmp/envtest.log
set >> /tmp/envtest.log
pwd >> /tmp/envtest.log
Save it and run `chmod 755 /tmp/envtest.sh`.
Add the following line to your crontab:
0 * * * * rancid /tmp/envtest.sh
Wait a minute and check /tmp/envtest.log; you should see the environment and current working directory in the logfile then which might help to diagnose this issue.

Well if it were properly set, the error would be clear.
rancid:x:103:101:added by portage for rancid:/var/rancid:/bin/bash
Thanks for the answer.

Hi,
You can set the CWD to ~rancid first and then execute „rancid-run“, but this is (at least to my experience) not necessary if the home directory for your rancid user iss et properly in /etc/passwd.
What does `grep rancid /etc/passwd` return on your system? Is /var/rancid liste das the home directory for this account?
Best,

Betreff: [rancid] problem with rancid crontab
Peace,
I configured crontab as root as such:
0 */6 * * * rancid /usr/bin/rancid-run
# Clean out config differ logs5
0 23 * * * rancid /usr/bin/find /var/rancid/logs -type f -mtime +2 -exec rm {} \
But an error is logged:
clogin error: Error: password file (//.cloginrc) does not exist
I do not understand what the path // is. The .cloginrc file is in /var/rancid
Or is it absolutely necessary to run cron as user rancid?
p.s I’m using rancid 3.7
