[rancid] Re: "End of run not found" troubleshooting

[Mike Ashcraft]

Sam,

/^(: +)?end$/ translates to:

Line starting with an optional (colon followed by one or more spaces)
followed by the string 'end' with the 'd' being the last character on
the line.

So this matches any of the following lines:

end
: end
:  end
:   end

I don't see this regex as your problem.

Subject: [rancid] "End of run not found" troubleshooting

Team,

I am troubleshooting a "End of run not found" message in the log. The 
device type is 6509 switch running IOS. When I run "clogin device-name" 
it works fine and puts me on the box. However when rancid runs, I get 
"End of run not found"

After reading through /opt/rancid/bin/rancid file, I discovered 
following piece of code. Can somebody help me understand this RegEx?
 if (/^(: +)?end$/) {
            $found_end = 1;
            return(1);
        }

Is it looking for :end or something else? If it looks for ":end" on a 
line shouldn't regex be "/^:end$/"? Last few lines on my device config 
is as below.
ntp clock-period 17180035
ntp server xx.xx.xx.xx prefer
end
