telnet to remote server
Hi every1

the question

i want to write a script to telnet to a remote server
and put the username and pwd in the script
the problem is that i want to run some commands on the remote server and get the results in a file on the host

I wud highly appriciate if some1 helps me out on this!!!!!!!!!

Instead of telnet you should rsh or even better ssh.
With rsh you need to setup your .rhosts file in the home directory of the user you are loging in with. The .rhosts file contains the user id and host you are connecting from. This way you will not be promptrd for a password.

But as I said earlier you should use ssh instead.
