hi Viktor, I'm not sure if this feature would be available out-of-the-box in the first release, but there will be a Perl API for you to automate any interactive CLI scenario and report the result (success or error message).
so, basically you will be able to automate commands like "copy vlan.dat tftp://1.1.1.1"; and track the failures. cheers, stan ----- Original Message ---- > From: Viktor Steinmann <st...@stony.com> > To: swinog@lists.swinog.ch > Sent: Sun, October 17, 2010 11:57:19 AM > Subject: Re: [swinog] RANCID alternative > > Hey Stan > > Great idea.
