Hi,
We upgraded our 2610 series Procurves to R.11.98. In this software "show
tech transceivers" (or any other "show tech" command) is prefixed with
,----
| XXX# show tech transceivers
| ATTENTION: You are entering a diagnostic mode on this product that is HP
| Confidential and Proprietary. This mode, the commands and functionality
| specific to this mode, and all output from this mode are HP Confidential
| and Proprietary. You may use this mode only by specific permission of, and
| under the direction of, an HP support engineer or HP technical engineer.
| Unauthorized or improper use of this mode will be considered by HP to be
| unauthorized modification of the product, and any resulting defects or

I assume that, in some future update, it might get added to other
Procurve software families too. Here is a small patch for hrancid to

ok. i think that the prompt should also be matched, in case it returns
nothing after the notice. like so:
