Eventually after messing with the .raw file I realized the problem was that "show configuration" doesn't put "end" at the end. I realize I could hack this by changing the .pm to always set $found_end to 1, but I wonder if there's a better way. I'll note that for whatever reason, show configuration does end with 6 blank lines, so I might be able to use that. Or, a bit more kludgy, I could look for the last line that actually does print-only problem is, it is something that could theoretically change, although we would never change it in practice. -- Elliot Wilen Enterprise IT Architect Aechelon Technology, Inc.

Those options seem like things that could easily break w/ new kernels. The reason for this check is to ensure that device actually produces a config. Some devices produce their human-readable config from non-homan readable sources. when they have issues such as memory starvation that prevent that from being produced, they will sometimes silently. So, find a method to determine that it has produced the full config, then set found_end if that check passes. Some just check that no errors were returned and greater than 5 lines of config were received.

So for instance below showing the device changed, and shows the revision#, but then strips off the configuration data from the email. So, then once an email is received this would prompt us to goto the viewvc site and choose the specific device, and view the specific configuration that changed. Just trying to avoid send any configuration data via email. [cid:image001.png at 01DA0995.BDC8EE10] ---------------- Then strip the rest of the email message that contains the configuration data. I have attempted this via Postfix with no luck. Postfix I can modify the header information (recipients, senders, subject field etc...), but postfix doesn't allow manipulation of the email body that I know of, at least not very easily.

Some of them come with rancid pre-packaged and you can just install it. If your existing install is located in /usr/local, the package will generally not overwrite it.
