<div class="BodyFragment"><font size="2"><span style="font-size:11pt;">
<div class="PlainText">> Maybe adding to the command list like:<br>
> <name>;command;rancid::<writefunc>;start-shell cat /etc/network/interfaces<br>
> does that command actually work? docs imply that it does.<br>
<br>
made a new type in `/etc/raancid/rancid.types.conf`<br>
```<br>
frrx;script;rancid -t frr<br>
frrx;login;clogin<br>
frrx;module;frr<br>
frrx;inloop;frr::inloop<br>
frrx;command;frr::ShowVersion;show version<br>
frrx;command;frr::WriteTerm;write term<br>
frrx;command;rancid::WriteTerm;start-shell cat /etc/network/interfaces<br>
frrx;command;rancid::WriteTerm;start-shell cat /etc/nftables.conf<br>
```<br>
<br>
and changer the `router.db` entry to that type<br>
<br>
did not record that last two commands<br>
<br>
log uninteresting except maybe for second line here<br>
```<br>
no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")<br>
Added r42.foo.blarg.net<br>
```<br>
