[rancid] Re: Mikrotik Router Backups

[Eric Merkel (Mail Lists)]

Chris,

I've finally gotten back to looking at this and the +ct seems to have helped 
expect to properly parse the login info. However, I am still having the 
issue of rancid geting the error "missed cmd(s): system routerboard print", 
etc when rancid runs from cron. However if I run rancid-run from the command 
line it seems to work fine. Any clue what might cause that? Am I missing an 
environment variable or something?

I appreciate all your help this far!
