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.
