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.
