Telnet Script

[kippi]

Hey,

I am trying to connect to a phone system using a script:

#!/bin/bash

( echo open 10.20.0.10
sleep 1
echo user
sleep 1
echo password
sleep 1
echo exit ) | telnet

The output of the telnet is:

(c) 2001 Avaya 17:36 08/06/08



Site Name

INDeX Administration

CPU-X1000 :


Username>

Its not inputting the user name etc.

Anyone got any ideas?

Many Thanks

your script has worked for me, so...
perhaps you should also try:

#!/bin/bash

( echo "open 10.20.0.10 -l user"
sleep 1
echo password
sleep 1
echo exit ) | telnet


bye



you may also try setting higher sleeping times

Silly question but did you try and connect to a index switch?

Many Thanks

Ok

This is really wired. If I add a 'space' so for example:

printf ' ' works
printf 'test' dosn't work

You can see this beeing entered to the switch, but as soon as you put any text it it dosn't do anything.

Many Thanks

and don't understand what you say about the spaces
