Well, I have managed to find the source code for telnet and am trying to
make some sense out of it, never having studied C in depth, or even in the
shallows.
In the meantime I am looking at alternatives using a redirected ssh
session and I am trying to get the following script to work:
#!/bin/sh
PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin/X11
PORT=4104
ssh -x -L ${PORT}:cwsvr:${PORT} cwsvr
sleep 5
xterm -e telnet localhost ${PORT}
The idea is that the redirect by the ssh is set up, 5 seconds is then
allowed for it to establish followed by an xterm/telnet session starting.
The problem is that I can't get the ssh line to background so that the
remainder of the script continues, it just leaves me at the prompt on the
cwsvr.
Could someone give me a short bash lesson on this one, pse.
