I honestly don't understand what in the above provided solution isn't working for you...no I don't think you should do it through 'ssh' if there is no specific reason to use Secure Socket.

Telnet should (and actually does) work just fine .

I've used it for something and it is working flawlessly.

I'll give you a step-by-step walkthrough/example below and we'll take it from there...

I'll enable telnet on my computer ,create a unixforum user,give him a password, run a command-line script, login in via telnet with the unixforum user , execute a 'pwd',an 'ls', exit from telnet and then disable telnet and delete the user.

let's go!!!

Code:
michnmi@OpenSolaris:~/Documents/Scripts/Unix.comForum$ svcs -a | grep telnet
disabled       15:29:03 svc:/network/telnet:default
michnmi@OpenSolaris:~/Documents/Scripts/Unix.comForum$ svcadm enable  svc:/network/telnet:default
michnmi@OpenSolaris:~/Documents/Scripts/Unix.comForum$ svcs -a | grep telnet
online         15:29:20 svc:/network/telnet:default

NAME
cports - expand host names into <host, server, port> triples SYNOPSIS
$CLUSTER_HOME/bin/cports hostname [hostname...] DESCRIPTION
The cports utility expands the hostname arguments into a list of <host, server, port> triples. The returned information is used to access the serial port consoles of the named hosts by way of the terminal server returned in the triples. If an entry for serialports has been made in the /etc/nisswitch.conf file, then the order of lookups is controlled by that entry. If there is no such file or no such entry, then the nameservice look up order is implicitly nis files. EXAMPLES
Example 1 Using the cports Command If the /etc/serialports file contains the entry: pepsi soda-tc 5002 the following command: % cports pepsi prints the following string: pepsi soda-tc 5002 This information can be used by the telnet(1) command to remotely access pepsi's console: % telnet soda-tc 5002 ATTRIBUTES
