RE: [Hardhats-members] Linux console as terminal emulator, with scripting?
Kevin, I am thinking out loud also, actually I am trying to remember back to the AIX days. There are three types of output from a UNIX system and I am sorry that I can't remember which is which, but the following is as close as I can get. 0> Standard output 1> Errors 2> something else. I think that your command line should look something like this. #begin script telnet xx.xx.xx.xx < inputfile.txt 0> outputfile.txt #end script The inputfile.txt would contain. Username Password Do this Do that The outputfile.txt would contain the results. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kevin Toppenberg Sent: Tuesday, October 26, 2004 4:38 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Hardhats-members] Linux console as terminal emulator, with scripting? OK, I'm going to think out loud. Please let me know if I am off track. In my bash script, I will need to initiate a connection to my old (AIX) server. We're on a VPN, so are using telnet. #begin script telnet xx.xx.xx.xx echo "goodbyte" #end script The above script will not show "goodbye" until after the connection to the server is closed. This won't help. So I need to somehow control the input and output of the telnet program. Sounds like redirection is needed. #begin script telnet xx.xx.xx.xx > SomeScript < SomeScript echo "goodbyte" #end script The above should launch telnet as well as SomeScript, and put all output to SomeScript, and get all input from the same. But my question is, will this direct IO to a process, or will it overwrite SomeScript as a simple text file?

RE: [Hardhats-members] Linux console as terminal emulator, with scripting?
Kea! Does have a scripting language that allows just that option. Something like if the last string received is "Hit and Key to continue" then Kea! Will insert a carriage return. However, I have found all terminal emulators to have their own script language, everything from Basic based to Java based, but never quite the same. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kevin Toppenberg Sent: Tuesday, October 26, 2004 2:23 PM To: Hardhats Sourceforge Subject: [Hardhats-members] Linux console as terminal emulator, with scripting? Hello all, I need to do some terminal scripting. As I try to download old progress notes from my server, it keeps stopping and asking me a pointless question (1000's of times!).

Re: [Hardhats-members] Linux console as terminal emulator, with scripting?
Kevin, I don't know how to do the scripting for a bash shell for this but I'm sure it can be done. I guess what I would be tempted to do is use kermit. It is supposed to use whatever emulation the console is using and I know that you can do scripting with it as well. If you are running RHEL3 you can just type up2date ckermit to install it if it's not installed. Then kermit to start it up. There is a lot of documentation in the man file but looking through it I see FOR and WHILE loops so I'm confident that you could just look for a string and send a response. I haven't done this in a while myself but I know I used to do this type of thing from time to time using kermit. --- Kevin Toppenberg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello all, > > I need to do some terminal scripting.

Re: [Hardhats-members] Linux console as terminal emulator, with scripting?
Maury, I spent a full day a month or so ago trying to get TeraTerm to work with our server, and finally gave up. In order to navigate on the server, I have to use F1-F12 keys. I spent a long time trying to figure out the escape sequences that should be sent when F1 etc is pressed, but couldn't ever get it to work. I know that key mapping would allow for any arbitrary sequence to be sent when a key is pressed. But again, I couldn't figure out what they should be.

OK, I'm going to think out loud. Please let me know if I am off track. In my bash script, I will need to initiate a connection to my old (AIX) server. We're on a VPN, so are using telnet. #begin script telnet xx.xx.xx.xx echo "goodbyte" #end script The above script will not show "goodbye" until after the connection to the server is closed. This won't help. So I need to somehow control the input and output of the telnet program. Sounds like redirection is needed. #begin script telnet xx.xx.xx.xx > SomeScript < SomeScript echo "goodbyte" #end script The above should launch telnet as well as SomeScript, and put all output to SomeScript, and get all input from the same. But my question is, will this direct IO to a process, or will it overwrite SomeScript as a simple text file?

Re: [Hardhats-members] Linux console as terminal emulator, with scripting?
Kevin, What problem are you having with TeraTerm? For scripting, terminal type usually isn't an issue. The keyboard config file allows for redefining most of the keys. (I can help with this.) It also has TEK4010 emulation which perhaps your system can handle. - Original Message - From: "Kevin Toppenberg" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Hardhats Sourceforge" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, October 26, 2004 1:22 PM Subject: [Hardhats-members] Linux console as terminal emulator, with scripting? > Hello all, > > I need to do some terminal scripting.
