NAME
unix_telnet - Callback module for ct_telnet for talking telnet to a unix host.
DESCRIPTION
Callback module for ct_telnet for talking telnet to a unix host.
It requires the following entry in the config file:
{unix,[{telnet,HostNameOrIpAddress},
{port,PortNum}, % optional
{username,UserName},
{password,Password},
{keep_alive,Bool}]}. % optional
To talk telnet to the host specified by HostNameOrIpAddress , use the interface functions in ct , e.g. open(Name), cmd(Name,Cmd), ... .
Name is the name you allocated to the unix host in your require statement. E.g.
suite() -> [{require,Name,{unix,[telnet,username,password]}}].
or
ct:require(Name,{unix,[telnet,username,password]}).
The "keep alive" activity (i.e. that Common Test sends NOP to the server every 10 seconds if the connection is idle) may be enabled or dis-
abled for one particular connection as described here. It may be disabled for all connections using telnet_settings (see ct_telnet ).
Note that the {port,PortNum} tuple is optional and if omitted, default telnet port 23 will be used. Also the keep_alive tuple is optional,
and the value defauls to true (enabled).
