Terminal scripting to automate login to cisco devices. Help Please !
Hello,

I am new to the mac world, and would like to automate my login to cisco devices (routers, switches etc...), i am in a need of writing a script that i may just click on an icon on the desktop and it will open terminal and run a few command.

as follow:

telnet to an ip address
type the username and password
log all screen output to a file.

Currently i am using the expect and send command but cannot get the script to work as one piece.

any help in the matter would be appreciated.


here is what i got:

telnet x.x.x.x.x

expect -re "Username:"
send "Admin\r"
expect -re "ass:"
send "XXX\r"

Thanks,

Rasta.
