<div>I could see that being a problem if it was an all-or-nothing type of scenario. But in my situation – 40 devices are working just fine. But 4 are not. And the only thing they have in common is that they are f5. Are you saying this is specific to the
f5rancid script? </div>
<div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I’m trying to figure out if this has any thing to do with it "/config/ssl/ssl.key” that the log mentions? </div>
<div><br>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>I’ll try the remove environment test and see what happens, but if that’s it – how do I fix it for cron? </div>

<span style="font-weight:bold">Subject: </span>Re: [rancid] Rancid isn't scanning the f5s from cron job.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div>I've found that some of the older rancid scripts work great from a terminal</div>
<div>logged in with an environment, but fail when run by cron.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Specifically I have ensured that $HOME is defined for all rancid jobs, and</div>
<div>have also set the terminal type.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Debugging: in f5rancid, right after the creation of $host.new and $host.raw</div>
<div>preserve those files, by adding</div>
<div> cp $host.* /tmp/</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>That will give you a very good indication of</div>
<div>- whether the login succeeded</div>
<div>- what commands were sent</div>
<div>- what commands got an expected response</div>
<div>- what commands broke the script</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Note: if you want to try and figure out if it's an environmental variable,</div>
<div>then before doing rancid-run clear all your environmental variables and</div>
<div>try rancid-run then. If it fails, add them back in to figure out what it</div>
<div>needs.</div>

<div>Very strange behavior here that I can’t pinpoint. </div>

<div>When the cron job runs once per day, it doesn’t scan our f5s in multiple locations. But when I run “rancid-run” manually (with no</div>
<div>args) it picks them up – no problem.</div>

<div>Again, running manually, it works just fine.</div>
<div></div>
<div>The logs from the cron job show me what I already know:</div>

<div>All routers sucessfully completed.</div>

<div>Anyone have any clues/ideas?</div>
