launching an automated telnet session using dtterm
Hi ,
I have to write a shell script which would be invoked from a Java program. The job of this script would be to launch a telnet session i was using dtterm for the same and the expect command to automate that.

spawn dtterm -e telnet <server ip address>

expect "Username:"
send "$username\r"
expect "Password:"
send "$pass\r"
interact

The problem here ia m facing is that the above script which is executed from within a java program opens the dtterm as a child process over which i don't have any control in my java program.But i need to kill this tell session when my java programm is getting closed.

Could you tell me how to capture the process id of the this new dtterm process and send it back to my java code which would later kill this telnet session .

telnetrc

telnetrc(4)						     Kernel Interfaces Manual						       telnetrc(4)

NAME

       telnetrc, .telnetrc - Specifies setup commands for a telnet session

SYNOPSIS

       $HOME/.telnetrc

DESCRIPTION

       The .telnetrc file contains the setup information for a telnet session.	It is a hidden file in your home directory and must be readable by
       the user logging in.

       The file can consist of multiple entries for each remote host to which a user can connect.  A remote host entry consists of multiple lines.
       The first line is the name of a remote host. The subsequent lines must begin with blank spaces, and contain telnet subcommands.	These sub-
       commands are processed as though they were typed in manually. Lines beginning with a number sign (#) are comment lines.	See telnet(1)  for
       a complete list of telnet subcommands.

       To specify subcommands that apply to all systems, create an entry, using the word "DEFAULT" as the system name, and specify the telnet sub-
       commands in the subsequent lines.

EXAMPLES

       The following shows a sample .telnetrc file:

       # Beginning of telnetrc file # Default subcommands that apply to all systems DEFAULT
	  environ undefine USER # First system entry system1
	  set echo
	  toggle crlf # Second system entry system2
	  set echo
	  mode line
	  toggle crlf

FILES

       User-customized telnet startup values.
