it would need to handle the check like exos.pm; by counting valid output.
Maybe try just using that module with a private device type like:

zte;script;rancid -t zte
zte;login;xlogin
zte;module;exos
zte;inloop;exos::inloop  
zte;command;exos::ShowVersion;show version
zte;command;exos::WriteTerm;show configuration

I have no idea what ZTE is; does it behave *exactly* the same as IOS?
It seems not.

Does it's config end with:

"
end
"?

in your .raw file, does the last prompt where clogin exited the cli, match
the regex

"prompt[>#] exit$"
?

clearly these sanity checks are not working with your ZTE device.  You
need to figure-out why and correct it, likely by creating your own
rancid module for ZTE with a customized inloop() function.  you can
probably use the parsing functions from the ios module, like the
'ciscoshtech' example that comes with rancid uses 2 modules.

Yes, my Router is ZTE and I am using CISCO type, because the command is the

Hi Kevin,
I think you said this is a ZTE device, but that you’re using -t cisco. is ZTE a 
cisco device?

I did it..

NOPIPE=yes ./rancid -d -t cisco 172.17.1.6

but in the two file 172.17.1.6.new and 172.17.1.6.raw don't see anything

[Piegorsch, Weylin William]

If you do the “NOPIPE” thing and run rancid with the -d flag, that will create 
two files: .new, and .raw.  Examine the .raw file, which is the byte-for-byte 
capture of the CLI session.

found end means that it found the end of the config; for type cisco,
that means "^end".

clean run means that it found the cli logout; for type cisco, that
means "prompt[>#] exit$"

found end means that it found the end of the config; for type cisco,
that means "^end".

clean run means that it found the cli logout; for type cisco, that
means "prompt[>#] exit$"

Re: [rancid] Unable to figure out "end of run not found"

[Nick Nauwelaerts]

iirc:
; is to seperate commands and wil execute the whole command string without 
checking the return value of the previous command
&& will do the same, but if previous command returns not null (you can check 
the return code of the previous command with "echo $?") it will end the command 
list.

the syntax is question "NOPIPE=yes" will set the environment variable NOPIPE 
but only for the context of the command that's executed.
appending ; between NOPIPE=yes & the command will _NOT_ do what you expect; it 
will execute and empty cmd with nopipe env set to yes, then execute your 
command with default envvars.


you can compare:

AHHA=aha env | grep -i aha
output -> AHHA=aha
AHHA=aha; env | grep -i aha
output -> nothing

export with set the envvar for your current session:
env  | grep -i nop
-> output nothing
export NOPIPE=yes
env  | grep -i nop
output ->NOPIPE=yes

all examples done in bash instead of my preferred zsh. if you use csh/tcsh or 
fish i would guess you know what you're doing and can adapt the config to work.

bottom line, this is correct for most bourne shell derivatives:
NOPIPE=yes rancid -d -t  


here's the catch, if you run rancid from cron you will either need to uncomment 
the NOPIPE line in yr rancid.conf or add them to your crontab entry.


side note:
the next rancid version will most likely change this behaviour:

If you’re using Linux, the command is:

NOPIPE=yes rancid -d -t  

This will generate two files:
.new
.raw

.new is the parsed output
.raw is pure log of the session (ie, it even captures non-printing characters). 
 I believe it’s only dumped if you set both NOPIPE and -d.

I’ve used the .raw output on many occasions.  At the moment I’m even

You are right: ; is not necessary.

NOPIPE=yes rancid -d -t type devicename

is is a perfectly valid syntax according to POSIX Shell Grammar Rules.
It works with bash, dash, ksh, zsh and other shells.


https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/V3_chap02.html#tag_18_10_02
 
see "simple_command" syntax and rule 7, which defines "ASSIGNMENT_WORD".

simple_command   : cmd_prefix cmd_word cmd_suffix
 | cmd_prefix cmd_word
 | cmd_prefix
 | cmd_name cmd_suffix
 | cmd_name

cmd_prefix   :io_redirect
 | cmd_prefix io_redirect
 |ASSIGNMENT_WORD

You don't need the ; and you dont need export, and you can even put
redirects, as long as assignments are before the command.

[rancid] Unable to figure out "end of run not found"

[Michael Newton]

Hi all, we manage about 200-300 Brocade ICX switches across a number of
locations. All but two are being successfully polled. The two in question
(same firmware and a similar config to the others) consistently show "end
of run not found" when run as part of the cron job. But, when run manually
for troubleshooting, everything seems to work.

`sudo -u rancid flogin switchname` works fine and logs me into the switch.

`sudo -u rancid flogin -c 'show version;show clock' switchname` likewise
works fine. Logs in, runs the commands, and logs out.

`sudo -u rancid rancid -t foundry -d switchname` runs through everything
perfectly. The switchname.new file has the expected output.

Yet the log for the automated process consistently shows this:

switchname: End of run not found
end

Is there anything else I can do to troubleshoot this? Thanks in advance!
