We have a linux server where in Rancid 3.1 and below is the cronjob (run as user pp71402)

root at neptune:(06-24 23:14): /root
# su - pp71402
pp71402 at neptune:(06-24 23:14): /users/pp71402/aws
# crontab -l
30 0 * * * /usr/bin/php /users/pp71402/public_html/netadmin/rancid.php
30 1 * * * /users/pp71402/rancid/bin/rancid-run
30 5 * * * /usr/bin/sudo /bin/chmod a+rw /users/pp71402/rancid/var/MA/configs/*
30 6 * * * /usr/bin/php /users/pp71402/public_html/netadmin/getinfo.php

So we can see that the rancid-run is scheduled to be run every night. But it's not downloading the configs for all the devices. 

I have verified that I'm able to login to those devices via clogin without any issues, I have checked the router.db file and they are listed correctly.
Secondly routers.up files reports the devices as up. When I try to see the logs, the devices are not listed in it. So not sure what parameters/logs to check for further troubleshooting

Please approve this query, let me know if there are no updates on the device will it download the configs? I have scheduled rancid to run every night, but when I try to see the updates it now getting updated on a daily basis.

Need assistance on priority, as we are running on a production environment.
