Interesting. I thought it would get mixed up into the value of the variable…. I’m not an expert programmer at all, but thought I needed to use the ; to separate the commands appropriately. But, my expertise on shell variables is a tad (understatement, really) limited. So, I shall defer! :)

Not sure if this is bash specific, sh specific, or posix general, but without the semicolon it sets the global environment variable only for the duration of that command following the variable definition, and unset it upon returning control to the cli. See also your "export" comment, which has correlating implications regarding environment vs namespace vs scope. But I'm not an experienced programmer, and don't pretend to grok the various nuances, benefits, and pitfalls known by those who actually know what they're doing, so if using the semicolon is better I all ears. weylin Sent from Outlook on my 'Droid ________________________________ From: Gauthier, Chris <cgauth...@comscore.com> Sent: Monday, June 17, 2019 4:22:02 PM To: Piegorsch, Weylin William; Michael Newton; Vacheslav Zouhairy Cc: rancid-discuss@shrubbery.net Subject: Re: [rancid] Unable to figure out "end of run not found" Don’t forget the ; between the NOPIPE=yes and the rest of the command! :-) Some flavors of linux also want you to use the export command..

I believe it’s only dumped if you set both NOPIPE and -d. I’ve used the .raw output on many occasions. At the moment I’m even troubleshooting a device CPU issue that rancid tripped on that I wouldn’t have found but for this; “clogin -c<command-set> <device>” was even working fine. weylin From: Michael Newton <mnew...@pofp.com> Date: Monday, June 10, 2019 at 11:25 AM To: Vacheslav Zouhairy <m_zouha...@skno.by> Cc: <rancid-discuss@shrubbery.net> Subject: Re: [rancid] Unable to figure out "end of run not found" No, there is not. But I guess you're thinking maybe the login doesn't work because of heavy traffic. So this got me looking for how to do debug output per-host. There doesn't seem to be, but that got me to this posting: https://www.shrubbery.net/pipermail/rancid-discuss/2015-October/008742.html<https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=https%3a%2f%2fwww.shrubbery.net%2fpipermail%2francid-discuss%2f2015-October%2f008742.html&c=E,1,ekhutmoeYC8nJjY5ygYIWeZtgfLUg9xzHFGeBIFHMUPKVuB2mZH94N3eF_QgXs0jXOsAB3OfrKr8A5kG_gIC11YP5eAWNrT_fRatYLjW22bodf8oDA,,&typo=1> And that made me notice that my router.db entry was corrupt (wrong device type.) So, typical user error. Thanks for (indirectly) getting me in the right direction though!
