I need a shell script that initiates a telnet session to another host. I have come up with the following, but unfortunately it terminates when the script is finished. What I wanted was for the telnet session to remain "alive" and interactive until manually terminated.
Is there a way to accomplish this in a shell script? I've been told that I'll have to use "expect" or similar to accomplish this, but it seems to me that I should be able to do this using just Bourne shell commands. #! /bin/sh (sleep 3; echo "password"; sleep 3; echo "ls -la"; sleep 3; ) | telnet -l user 192.168.0.2 Thanks, Jay _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
