  env NOPIPE=YES PATH=${PATH}:/usr/local/libexec/rancid rancid -d devicename

substituting the second "rancid" with the appropriate *rancid and 
modifying the path as appropriate.

Then check out the .raw file produced.

You previously said: "Some switches need the space bar pressed to advance 
the output.".  If you can't disable per-session paging (commands like 
"screen length 0" and their ilk), then *login will need to recognise the 
paging prompt ("--- More ---" etc), send a space when it sees it, and 
*rancid will need to be able to filter out the paging prompt, control 
characters etc.  It might be that the paging prompt on your devices isn't 
being recognised by *login/*rancid.
