RE: [Perl-unix-users] Query on writing perl script to telnet to a HP m/c remotely

[Matt Schneider]

You should be able to use the Net::Telnet module to connect and do anything that a regular telnet session can do.  You also say that you need to stay connected continuously for 3 minutes.  Is that how long it takes to run a process or something?  Because the Telnet module shouldn't automatically disconnect you.  However, your Telnet server might have a low timeout and in that case you might want to periodically in that 3 minutes do a listing or something to keep the connection active.

Hi Guys,

 

I am trying to write a perl script which can telnet to a HP m/c continously for a period of 3 mins. Could someone help me out in this.

 

Thanks a lot in advance.
