Telnet Script

[Guest.Visitor]

Does anyone know a way to create a telnet script that works similar to FTP scripts (which can be done with file overrides)? Thanks, Perry

What's the goal here? Obviously to run commands on another system right? If so, are you aware that FTP scripting can do that? Also the AS/400 supports sending remote commands to other AS/400s. I'll see if I can get a telnet script to work though here. Thanks, Todd

Hi Todd, thanks for the response. >> What's the goal here? We're operating a serial device that's connected to our network using a small serial server made by Lantronix. Sometimes it becomes necessary to telnet directly to this server and run a series of commands in order to properly reset the device. These are all telnet commands, but they're always the same. Rather than talk our customers through this series of commands, it would be sweet if we could just creat a CL that executed a telnet script that ran these commands. Ulitmately we could then make it a menu or subfile option. Thanks again, Perry Update: Your clue that I could send commands using FTP did the trick! By using the SI option in my FTP script I'm able to do everything I need to do. Thanks a ton. Perry
