[rancid] Rancid-Run works great but cron doesn't.

[Wesley Brown]

Oh great rancid discussion list hear my plea,

I have been beating my head against this problem for the last full day. If I go run /usr/local/rancid/bin/rancid-run, everything runs smooth. My rancid logs state all routers reached. However When cron runs it fails to connect to any router. All routers in this Rancid server are Juniper. Here are some of the log entries from a cron run.

Trying to get all of the configs.

Im pretty new at working a rancid server, and have been looking around trying to figure out what is going on and how to fix it. Can you please help?

When cron runs it fails to connect to any router.

Probably because cron doesn't set up the full environment; I made a
wrapper that I start via cron:
$ cat rancidRun.sh
#!/bin/sh
# call rancid with all my doodads
#
# just in case I run it interactively
# clear all the debug envars
unset DEBUG
unset SHOWWARN
unset NOPIPE

if [ -z "$ALLDEV" ]; then
# my .bashrc hasn't been called yet
source ${HOME}/.bashrc
fi

rancid-run $*
