Re: [U2][UV]telnet

This was close.  I removed the exit and it sill exited.  I'd like to 
take over manually once I get in.

By the way, this example answered a question I've had for a while.  I 
saw automated telnet sessions posting and retrieving cash register 
transactions with a UniData server running Datatel's school 
administration software and wondered how it was done.  Wrap CAPTURE 
around this and I have the answer.

suggest an alternative solution.
At any rate, the following has worked all right for simple tasks on an AIX system 
running Universe:
SH -c '(sleep 1; echo username; sleep 1; echo password; sleep 5; echo "ls -l"; sleep 3; echo 
"exit") | telnet hostname'

What the script does is not so important just yet.  How do 
you pass the 
login id and password?

What's it for?
I've created scripts that use ssh rather than telnet for automated
processes but never telnet.

I want to create a telnet script from a program and execute 
       

it.  Can it
   

be done?  If it can, what would the EXECUTE look like?  
       

What would the
   

script look like?  I'm looking for concept and a little detail.
