I'll have to do that. I don't see why you can't just issue the NCL TELL from the command line just once to get the failure results. Because the failure is transient. It's not happening 100% of the time. -brian

I'm using is.popen(), so yeah, i think i'm out of luck in that case. I'll just have to add some logic to maybe re-try the node if I get this.

I'll send out a "let me know if you aren't showing up" email when i'm ready to tackle stuff that's being missed.

Bruce stopped working on it and never was able to get the vproc layer into the Linux upstream sources. which is a real shame Oh, nice! Maybe we should get that somewhere else. Like NetBSD or rolled into the Illumos stuff. :) -brian

And correct, this is not a routed protocol, so you need to be on the local network, and you cannot go through NCP on another machine using TELL. :-) I'm going to play with this. I think this is the solution to keeping cisco queries in-band. I'll report back on how I plan on using this. -brian
