Question telnet and background ?
I have an issue i'm trying to resolve. It's a ksh script.
When i use this " & " after the telnet command i get output to my screen. I see what is going on, but i don't get anything sent to the dump2 file.
If i don't use it i get info sent to dump2 file and grep finds the data.
Is there a way it can work both ways. How would it look?

) | telnet > /usr/autoprog/prod/rob/dump2
sleep 3
grep -h c12k-fpd-pkg.120-32.S3.pkg < /usr/autoprog/prod/rob/dump2
rcode=$?
echo "$rcode"

Thanks.
Smilie

Not shure, but try using "tee" ie
telnet | tee -a /usr/autoprog/prod/rob/dump2
"tee" will dump into a file and display on the screen.
