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).
