[rancid] Limit number of concurrent downloads

[Jason Humes]

Hi
We're using RANCID over a very slow DSL link and it's killing the ability to get full backups do to timeouts. Is there anyway to limit RANCID to just one backup at a time, no parallel processing?

Thanks

Jason

Great, worked perfectly!

Yes, in the rancid.conf file, set PAR_COUNT to the number of parallel processes you want.

PAR_COUNT=1; export PAR_COUNT
