Hi,
In python documentation, i found a telnet example as follows:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
import getpass
import sys
import telnetlib
HOST = "localhost"
user = raw_input("Enter your remote account: ")
password = getpass.getpass()
tn = telnetlib.Telnet(HOST)
tn.read_until("login: ")
tn.write(user + "\n")
if password:
tn.read_until("Password: ")
tn.write(password + "\n")
tn.write("ls\n")
tn.write("exit\n")
print tn.read_all()
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
The ouput of it as follows:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Enter your remote account: root

bin export mnt sfile vol
#
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
The difficulty i find in this is th code line "print tn.read_all()" is
used for reading all of the output of the code at once.
Is there a possibility to read the stdout of each command by command
like -
# ls
<stdout 1>
[capture <stdout 1> in a variable]
# cd /root
<stdout 2>
[capture <stdout 2> in a variable]
Like the above would be useful if there are a large number of commands
to be executed in the telnet session.
Can anyone help on this?
Regards,
Hishaam
