I'm not sure I understand...that's the problem I'm running into. Because I'm touching over 450 routers per script, and because there are multiple flavors of configuration changes, it is one big long script. If a router is unavailable, it hangs.
My thoughts were that before spawn telnet ran, a ping would make sure that the IP address replied, and if it did it could proceed. If it did not reply, then go to the next spawn telnet, etc.
I'm obviously a router Cisco guy first, not a programmer, so I do apologize if I'm making no sense.

control_rancid
control_rancid(1) General Commands Manual control_rancid(1)
NAME
control_rancid - run rancid for devices of a group
SYNOPSIS
control_rancid [-V] [-m mail_rcpt] [-r device_name] group
DESCRIPTION
control_rancid is a sh(1) script to parse a group's router.db(5), run rancid for each of the devices, possibly re-run rancid for devices
that failed collection, e-mail diffs, and e-mail error reports.
The command-line options are as follows:
-V Prints package name and version strings.
-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
Specify the name, as it appears in the router.db, of a particular device to collect and generate diffs for. The device must be
marked "up".
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.
control_rancid is normally (and best) run via rancid-run(1) which provides a locking mechanism on a group basis and saves output in a log
file for each group.
