Hello, I work in this annoying company where I have to autheticate myself to the company firewall every 30-50 minutes in order to access the internet. (I think it's a checkpoint fw).
I have to run "telnet what.ever.ip.address 259" then it prompts me with userid, then password, then I have to select "1". Then the program closes itself and the internet is enabled. I would like to automate this process with Python and run it every 30 miniutes so I don't have to keep typing in these userid/password everytime. How can this be done? Is there a module I can use to interact with the shell? (I'm running linux) Thank you. James -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
