Hello all!
 
We're trying to have a POSIX shell script, or a job of some kind,
use 5.0's generic telnet to go over to a unix machine and execute
a Perl/Shell/? script over there.  We've tried multiple ways of
redirecting STDIN.  Each time, it connects fine, but it waits for
someone to input the user name and password.  If that's to be
run automatically, that won't do.  We've tried running telnet
through a job stream, and it flat out told us that you can't run
telnet in batch mode.
 
Is there something that I'm missing? (sample below)
 
TIA

Sample of what happens
 
:run telnet.arpa.sys;stdin=teletest.usr

Connected to ux_box.

login:
 
it sits there and waits until you type something in.  It seems to be
reading
STDIN to that point, and then stopping.
 
Sample Script:
 
open ux_box
TESTUSER testpassword quit

Your problem, executing Unix scripts on a 9000 from a 3000,
in batch, and without using Telnet, is currently being addressed
by the firm that I work for, Eagle Consulting abnd Development....
 
There is a simple solution available...you can contact
