Hi,
How do I launch a telnet session from a process and tell that

I read through fork() and exec() man pages but it is not mentioned  
there.


Personally I'd use expect around the telnet, and then send the output
to any file desired.

Launching a telnet session from a process

2007-01-17 Thread Kailas Ramasamy

Hi,
How do I launch a telnet session from a process and tell that session to
use console port (/dev/console) for stdin and stdout?. Appreciate your help.

I read through fork() and exec() man pages but it is not mentioned there.

Thanks
