I managed to do the login, username/password and typing the command but the problem is that the command only displays a variable number of lines and then waits for a key press to continue showing the infos, thats the hard part I can't get it to work.....
The number of lines usable depends on the window size and the server I'm using. I don't have a fixed number for each server.
It looks like this :
(sleep 1;
echo username;
sleep 1;
echo password;
sleep 1
echo "show version"
sleep 3;
echo "exit") | telnet server
Any idea how to solve this?
Thanks a lot for the help!!!

script
SCRIPT(1) User Commands SCRIPT(1)
NAME
script - make typescript of terminal session
SYNOPSIS
script [options] [file]
DESCRIPTION
script makes a typescript of everything printed on your terminal. It is useful for students who need a hardcopy record of an interactive
session as proof of an assignment, as the typescript file can be printed out later with lpr(1).
If the argument file is given, script saves all dialogue in file. If no file name is given, the typescript is saved in the file type-
script.
OPTIONS
-a, --append
Append the output to file or typescript, retaining the prior contents.
-c, --command command
Run the command rather than an interactive shell. This makes it easy for a script to capture the output of a program that behaves
differently when its stdout is not a tty.
-e, --return
Return the exit code of the child process. Uses the same format as bash termination on signal termination exit code is 128+n.
-f, --flush
Flush output after each write. This is nice for telecooperation: one person does `mkfifo foo; script -f foo', and another can
supervise real-time what is being done using `cat foo'.
--force
Allow the default output destination, i.e. the typescript file, to be a hard or symbolic link. The command will follow a symbolic
link.
-q, --quiet
Be quiet.
-t, --timing[=file]
Output timing data to standard error, or to file when given. This data contains two fields, separated by a space. The first field
indicates how much time elapsed since the previous output. The second field indicates how many characters were output this time.
This information can be used to replay typescripts with realistic typing and output delays.
-V, --version
Output version information and exit.
-h, --help
Output help and exit.
NOTES
The script ends when the forked shell exits (a control-D to exit the Bourne shell (sh(1)), and exit, logout or control-d (if ignoreeof is
not set) for the C-shell, csh(1)).
Certain interactive commands, such as vi(1), create garbage in the typescript file. Script works best with commands that do not manipulate
the screen, the results are meant to emulate a hardcopy terminal.
ENVIRONMENT
The following environment variable is utilized by script:
SHELL If the variable SHELL exists, the shell forked by script will be that shell. If SHELL is not set, the Bourne shell is assumed.
(Most shells set this variable automatically).
SEE ALSO
csh(1) (for the history mechanism), scriptreplay(1).
HISTORY
The script command appeared in 3.0BSD.
BUGS
Script places everything in the log file, including linefeeds and backspaces. This is not what the naive user expects.
AVAILABILITY
The script command is part of the util-linux package and is available from Linux Kernel Archive <ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-
linux/>.
