PROGRAM:
NAME
rancid-run - run rancid for each of the groups
SYNOPSIS
rancid-run [-V] [-f rancid.conf] [-f rancid.conf] [-m mail_rcpt] [-r device_name] [group
[group ...]]
DESCRIPTION
rancid-run is a sh(1) script to run rancid(1) for a set of rancid group(s).
rancid-run reads rancid.conf(5) to configure itself, then uses control_rancid(1) to run
rancid(1) for each rancid group. The set of rancid groups can either be provided as
command-line arguments or via the LIST_OF_GROUPS variable in rancid.conf(5), if the group
argument is omitted.
A lock file is maintained per-group to prevent simultaneous runs for a given group by
rancid-run(1). The lock file will be named .<group>.run.lock and will be located in
/var/lib/rancid.
A log file is produced under $LOGDIR/logs for each rancid group processed. The file name
will be <group>.YYYYMMDD.HHMMSS (year month day . hour minute second).
rancid-run is normally used to run rancid from cron(8). For example:
0 * * * * /usr/local/rancid/bin/rancid-run
The command-line options are as follows:
-V Prints package name and version strings.
-f rancid.conf
Specify an alternate configuration file.
-m mail_rcpt
Specify the recipient of diff mail, which is normally rancid-<group>. The argument
may be a single address, multiple comma separated addresses, or -m may be specified
multiple times.
-r device_name
Run rancid for a single device, device_name. device_name should be name, as it
appears in a group's router.db. The device must be marked "up". If a group is not
specified on the command-line, rancid will be run against any group in which the
device_name appears.
The -r option alters the subject line of the diff mail. It will begin with <group
name>/<device name> rather than just the group name alone.
ENVIRONMENT
rancid-run utilizes the following environment variables from rancid.conf(5).
BASEDIR
Location of group directories, etc. This is set to the "localstatedir" by the
configure script at installation time.
LIST_OF_GROUPS
List of rancid groups to collect.
PATH Search path for utilities.
TMPDIR Directory to hold temporary files.
ERRORS
If rancid fails to run or collect a device's configuration, the particular group's log
file (mentioned above) should be consulted. Any errors produced by the revision control
system (CVS, Subversion, or git) or any of the rancid scripts should be included there,
whether they be a botched cvs tree, login authentication failure, rancid configuration
error, etc. If the log file produces no clues, the next debugging step should be run the
commands manually. For example, can the user who runs rancid login to the device with
'clogin hostname', and so on.
