Hi Listers,

I'm trying to automate a Telnet login from an MPE/iX session, doing
something like this:

telnet  < myfile

Where myfile contains:
    open somehost.somewhere.org
    username
    password
    ls -l
    other unix commands...
    exit

When I do the above, it doesn't work. It stops at the login: prompt on
the remote host. I also can't put the equivalent of the above file in a
job, because Telnet complains that it can't be run from a job (that may
be the way we have our program capabilities set up -- I'll have to talk
to our sys mgr about that). However, it would be preferable to do it
from a command file in a session.

Can anyone enlighten me as to how I could do this?
Thanks!
