I'm trying to use a python script to access an embedded computer
running linux and connected via a crossover ethernet cable using the
following script...
...and I realize the username and password is not realistic... I'm
still in "proof of concept" stage here :)
#########################
import telnetlib
tn = telnetlib.Telnet('192.168.100.11')
tn.read_until('login: ', 5)
tn.write('user\n')
tn.read_until('Password: ', 5)
tn.write('password\n')
tn.read_until('bash-2.05$ ', 5)
tn.write('ls\n')
print tn.read_very_eager()
#########################
As a script, this doesn't work. However, if I execute the same
commands interactively, it works fine. If I insert some time delays as
follows...
#########################
import telnetlib
import time
tn = telnetlib.Telnet('192.168.100.11')
tn.read_until('login: ', 5)
time.sleep(2)
tn.write('user\n')
tn.read_until('Password: ', 5)
time.sleep(2)
tn.write('password\n')
tn.read_until('bash-2.05$ ', 5)
tn.write('ls\n')
time.sleep(2)
print tn.read_very_eager()
#########################
...and it works fine. Can anyone tell me what's going on here? TIA
