F5 full configuration command for rancid

Hi

is there any command on f5 that gives me the full configuration of F5 like Cisco 

show running-config all
. Actually I wanted to add that command to my rancid. Currently "'tmsh -q list'" is configured but I am afraid it gives only the partial configuration.

{'tmsh -q list'                                        => 'WriteTermTMSH'},

what about adding 

list sys application service recursive
. Any suggestion ?

    F5 config is broken into various configuration files so isn't like Cisco. A better way would be to pull the bigip.conf and bigip_base.conf files - alternatively schedule archives or SCF creation and pull them off periodically

    Want complete config on screen from multiple partitions then simple you cannot but you can save the config to SCF (single Configuration File) with the following command:

    save /sys config file

    If using TMOS 12.1.0 or above need to set a passphrase or set to no-passphrase on the command:

    save /sys config file  no-passphrase

    This will save a scf file and tar of the file to '/var/local/scf' which contains almost all configuration from all partitions

    For more details on SCF see: K13408: Overview of single configuration files (11.x - 13.x)
