Hello Guys,
Since I need to fire a lot requests so I would like to optimize it using a shell script to avoid telnetting each time and do the arduous manual actions, can some body assist me, how to fire a request after triggering telnet in the script.
Hi!
Of course zaxxon is right.
However... this below is a bash function I use to telnet my tplink router and reset its adsl connection to my provider.
I think you can pretty easily adapt the code above to do what _you_ wanna do instead: send _your_ requests and redirect stdout and stderr wherever you like (not to /dev/null, I guess).
Hi,
Any scripting experts out there that can point me to the right direction of writing a script using telnet and su to access a server without any users interaction such as login and entering passwd. Thanks.
Thanks in advance

escape
escape(1) Mail Avenger 0.8.3 escape(1)NAME
escape - escape shell special characters in a string
SYNOPSIS
escape string
DESCRIPTION
escape prepends a "" character to all shell special characters in string, making it safe to compose a shell command with the result.
EXAMPLES
The following is a contrived example showing how one can unintentionally end up executing the contents of a string:
$ var='; echo gotcha!'
$ eval echo hi $var
hi
gotcha!
$
Using escape, one can avoid executing the contents of $var:
$ eval echo hi `escape "$var"`
hi ; echo gotcha!
$
A less contrived example is passing arguments to Mail Avenger bodytest commands containing possibly unsafe environment variables. For
example, you might write a hypothetical reject_bcc script to reject mail not explicitly addressed to the recipient:
#!/bin/sh
formail -x to -x cc -x resent-to -x resent-cc
| fgrep "$1" > /dev/null
&& exit 0
echo "<$1>.. address does not accept blind carbon copies"
exit 100
To invoke this script, passing it the recipient address as an argument, you would need to put the following in your Mail Avenger rcpt
script:
bodytest reject_bcc `escape "$RECIPIENT"`

BUGS
escape is designed for the Bourne shell, which is what Mail Avenger scripts use. escape might or might not work with other shells.
