Question no screen output
I'm a newbie.
I'm having a problem at work with a script. What i'm trying to do is connect to a cisco switch from a sun station. After i run the script and telnet into the switch i don't get any output on the "xterm window" and all my commands from the script don't show up on the screen or on the saved file. If i hit the return on the keyboard those carriage returns show up in the file saved. It's also a pain to get out of the telnet session. Smilie Are my commands not showing up because i'm leaving the sun station and the script connection is lost?
Here's my script:

#!/bin/ksh
telnet $switch_ip $port >saved_file
pause 2 or sleep 2 <---- i don't remember.

#I've typed these below and nothing shows up when the file is saved.
type "type\n"
send "send\n"
sende "sende\n"
print "print\n"
echo "echo\n"

fence_brocade

fence_brocade(8)					      System Manager's Manual						  fence_brocade(8)

NAME

       fence_brocade - I/O Fencing agent for Brocade FC switches

SYNOPSIS

       fence_brocade [OPTION]...

DESCRIPTION

       fence_brocade  is an I/O Fencing agent which can be used with Brocade FC switches.  It logs into a Brocade switch via telnet and disables a
       specified port.	Disabling the port which a machine is connected to effectively fences that machine.  Lengthy  telnet  connections  to  the
       switch should be avoided while a GFS cluster is running because the connection will block any necessary fencing actions.

       fence_brocade  accepts  options	on the command line as well as from stdin.  fenced sends parameters through stdin when it execs the agent.
       fence_brocade can be run by itself with command line options which is useful for testing.

       After a fence operation has taken place the fenced machine can no longer connect to the Brocade FC switch.   When  the  fenced  machine	is
       ready  to  be  brought  back into the GFS cluster (after reboot) the port on the Brocade FC switch needs to be enabled. This can be done by
       running fence_brocade and specifying the enable action.

       Vendor URL: http://www.brocade.com

       -V     Print out a version message, then exit.
