Hi everyone, I downloaded this module Net::Telnet........im not really good working with module but i made it work for now but it doesnt meet my objective.....Which is ..1. open a telenet port; 2. get supplied passwd and username for verification, execute desired command and wait for my exit command. my ($logname,$passwd); print ("Login :"); $logname = <STDIN>; chop($logname); print("Passwd:"); $passwd = <STDIN>; chop($passwd); use Net::Telnet(); #use module blib/lib/Net/Telnet.pm $t= use Net::Telnet ( Timeout => 10,Prompt => '/bash\$ $/' ); $t->open(); #open port 23 $t->login($logname,$passwd); #pass variable to method login to verify @lines = $t->cmd(/bin/who | ls -l); #command requested print"(@lines\n"); #print the requested ouput from this code when logname or passwd has no match it terminate and also when requested command is outputted... Question is how can i make it running and wait till i terminate it myself? pls see Telnet.pm code at Net::Telnet thanks...........
