cat & telnet
cat & telnet
hello,
I need some help on using a file with the cat command. I want to set up a telnet connection with a network device with the ip-adress 10.3.0.1. Just executing the command 'telnet 10.3.0.1' gives a menu. For example, to show the help of the menu, you need to type '?'.
Now I want to go through the menu with commands (like '?') that are in a file. For this I want to use the command:
cat filename | telnet 10.3.0.1
When I try this, the telnet connection is established, but then it closes immediately afterwards. So I suppose something's wrong with the file. But I have no idea what the file should look like. For example, do you need to mention the enters after a command in a certain way?
just to be clear: the command in the menu that I want to execute are:
"?" -> enter
"projector" -> enter
"exit" -> enter
thanks in advance,
Michaël

telnetrc
telnetrc(4) Kernel Interfaces Manual telnetrc(4)
NAME
telnetrc, .telnetrc - Specifies setup commands for a telnet session
SYNOPSIS
$HOME/.telnetrc
DESCRIPTION
The .telnetrc file contains the setup information for a telnet session. It is a hidden file in your home directory and must be readable by
the user logging in.
The file can consist of multiple entries for each remote host to which a user can connect. A remote host entry consists of multiple lines.
The first line is the name of a remote host. The subsequent lines must begin with blank spaces, and contain telnet subcommands. These sub-
commands are processed as though they were typed in manually. Lines beginning with a number sign (#) are comment lines. See telnet(1) for
a complete list of telnet subcommands.
To specify subcommands that apply to all systems, create an entry, using the word "DEFAULT" as the system name, and specify the telnet sub-
commands in the subsequent lines.
EXAMPLES
The following shows a sample .telnetrc file:
# Beginning of telnetrc file # Default subcommands that apply to all systems DEFAULT
environ undefine USER # First system entry system1
set echo
toggle crlf # Second system entry system2
set echo
mode line
toggle crlf
FILES
User-customized telnet startup values.
