Hi, I am always grateful for your help. I use CYGWIN on win-2000 with a “$” prompt and run
my .pl to telnet to a VxWorks station. When I do it manually this is what I follow: telnet <return> open 144.248.176.132 <return> then I get the login prompt which is "VxWorks Login: " and I enter "marco". then the "password: " which I enter "system" then I get the vxworks prompt "-> " here I do a “pwd” and get the result and then the prompt again. Below is my code but does not log me in. $ip = '144.248.176.132' ; print( "\n- Opening Telnet session to $ip\n" ) ; $telnetAte = Net::Telnet -> new( Timeout => 60 ) ; $telnetAte -> open( $ip ) ; $telnetAte -> waitfor( '/VxWorks login:/' ) ; $telnetAte -> print( "marco" ) ; $telnetAte -> waitfor( '/Password:/' ) ; $telnetAte -> print( "system" ) ; $telnetAte -> waitfor( '/\->/' ) ; $telnetAte -> prompt( '/\-> $/i' ) ; is it my code? Also after login, how can I issue a cmd such as “pwd” and print the result? Thank you and regards, Marco. --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Read only the mail you want - Yahoo!
