[rancid] HP Procurve 2920-48G-POE+ Stack and hrancid show stack command issue

[Stephen Austen]

Hi,

I am having an issue where config differs are being created every hour due to the response to "show stack" command in hrancid.

The problem appears to be that "Uptime" in this command's response needs to be skipped/removed and my attempts at editing hrancid end up aborting due compile errors.

Would someone be so kind as to assist me in filtering out "Uptime" in hrancid, or elsewhere, to avoid unnecessary emails and CVS updates?

Hi,

Add this to sub ShowStack(), directly after the 2 return statements is a
good place:

next if (/^Uptime/);


That will remove any line starting with "Uptime", which I imagine will
suit your needs.

Yeah, if you check the mail list archives you will find that about 1/3 of the requests are similar in nature. The gist is, edit the hrancid file, find the routine that collects Uptime (it's one of the commandtable callbacks) and add a next if /;Uptime/; command in there near the other 'next if' commands. It's very easy.
