Subject: Using TELNET in Batch


>Hi,
>
>When performing a production move of source code one of the steps required

>The preferred way to run the Korn shell script is to log on as a TELNET
>session and start the script.  The question is can we use TELNET in a batch
>job to log on to the Unix server and start the script.  We know that TELNET
>generically does not run in batch but is there a setting we can use to

>and we want to minimize the efforts and not have to rewrite the script.
