NAME

6       control_rancid - run rancid for devices of a group
7

SYNOPSIS

9       control_rancid [-V] [-m mail_rcpt] [-r device_name] group
10

DESCRIPTION

12       control_rancid  is  a sh(1) script to parse a group's router.db(5), run
13       rancid for each of the devices, possibly re-run rancid for devices that
14       failed collection, e-mail diffs, and e-mail error reports.
15
16       The command-line options are as follows:
17
18       -V     Prints package name and version strings.
19
20       -m mail_rcpt
21              Specify   the   recipient   of  diff  mail,  which  is  normally
22              rancid-<group>.  The argument may be a single address,  multiple
23              comma  separated  addresses,  or  -m  may  be specified multiple
24              times.
25
26       -r device_name
27              Specify  the  name,  as  it  appears  in  the  router.db,  of  a
28              particular device to collect and generate diffs for.  The device
29              must be marked "up".
30
31              The -r option alters the subject line of the diff mail.  It will
32              begin with <group name>/<device name> rather than just the group
33              name alone.
34
35       control_rancid is normally  (and  best)  run  via  rancid-run(1)  which
36       provides a locking mechanism on a group basis and saves output in a log
37       file for each group.
