Very simply, I'm trying to telnet to a site and get some data from a script. In HPUX, I would do this:
echo "Alinetobesent" | telnet an.address.com 1234 And it would happily telnet to the machine and echo the command, getting me the results I wanted. This doesn't seem to work under any of the shells I could find installed in DEBIAN, or any odd variation I could come up with. Any ideas, or do I have to re-write in C using sockets (bleah)? --Mike -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
