I have an odd problem, the need to automate a telnet type session on
a UNIX platform. (Actually IRIX, and I could get away with RLOGIN or
Telnet.) The thing on the other end of the telnet session will be sending
various responses, and I need to respond to it in a standard fashion,
interacting with it as if there was a human at the telnet session.
The Expect tool has been tried before; but those who have tried it
say it breaks down under the Heavy use of Curses (UNIX package that moves
the cursor over the screen). When otherwise engaged, the other end is
sending the time of day to the telnet session on a part of the screen.
Does there exist such a script-able telnet-like tool?
I have tried to write something using sockets in Perl, but... the
books I have (O'Reilly "Web Client Programming", O'Reilly "Advanced Perl
Programming", Perl5 Unleashed, etc.) seem to contradict themselves on the
calling parameters, etc. Or rely on libraries that are only available on
Linux.
Suggestions?
