ProcessHistory(tag, command, command_arg, data) data is added the buffer, by command with command_arg (if specified), unless tag or command has changed since the last call, in which case the buffer would be flushed before calling command. a good example, where $aclsort = "ipsort" (the function) # order access-lists /^access-list\s+(\d\d?)\s+(\S+)\s+(\S+)/ && ProcessHistory("ACL $1 $2","$aclsort","$3","$_") && next; ___ Rancid-discuss mailing list Rancid-discuss@shrubbery.net http://www.shrubbery.net/mailman/listinfo/rancid-discuss

Re: [rancid] Questions about sub ProcessHistory
So, more specifically, how is that string used as an argument? What's the significance of the "D99" or the "F1" or whatever the other value is? That's the part I'm not sure about. I want to leverage the ProcessHistory function with the keysort, but don't know what the argument value should be or how I determine what it should be.

[rancid] Questions about sub ProcessHistory
I’m trying to get my Aruba Instant access points to be backed up by rancid and I’m using the module developed by miken32, but it really doesn’t support a lot of the Aruba stuff that I have. I’m trying to add a few extra functions into the perl module, but have run into some difficulty with `sub ProcessHistory` in rancid.pm. I’ve read the description, but am not understanding the third argument. For example: ProcessHistory("COMMENTS","keysort","D99","!$_"); (from the aruba.pm file) Or ProcessHistory("COMMENTS","keysort","F1", "!Image: $_") (from the ios.pm file) What is the function of the “D99” and “F1” arguments and how do I leverage them for my own function? And, what is the string in the last argument used for?
