tmsh -q parameter from the tmsh prompt for rancid backup.

if i run the following:

tmsh -q list

it means "no user interaction required" so if i have 10000 lines of configuration it spits them all out at once similar to cat.

if i run the list command from the tmsh shell it outputs that same information but requires user interaction... like using the more command. is it possible to get the opposite behavior?

the purpose is to use rancid to backup our configuration. i was wondering if anyone out there is currently using rancid for backup. are you able to backup ssl certificates and anything on disk as well or just the configuration that can be fetched with the list command?

  • why don't you set "Advanced Shell" for the user you use for backup? That you you can use tmsh -q
