<p class="MsoNormal">I slightly modified the f5rancid script to work with their version 11 TMOS. Basically, all it does is “show running-config” and then runs “quit” instead of “exit” when it finds the prompt.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This has been working just fine for our existing load balancers. But we recently added a new set. The first run appears to work. Then I start getting this in the logs:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Trying to get all of the configs.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">lb01.my.domain: (v11) missed cmd(s): show running-config<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I don’t get it – if I run f5rancid_v11 (my modified copy), it runs just fine and the “.new” file is there with all the info I need. It’s only when it’s run from cron that it throws any kind of error. F5login runs fine too (or f5rancid_v11
would fail). I added the “(v11)” in the log line area to confirm it’s running the correct script when it does rancid-run.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Since it’s logging errors, I don’t think it’s any kind of permissions error. But I am running as the same user as the cron job.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">All my other configs are coming in and diff’ing just fine, so I don’t think it’s a CVS issue (or the ability to write temp files for example).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Any ideas?<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks!<o:p></o:p></p>
