There are several ways.  One tool that can help you do it is called CURL. It
was ported to MPE/iX by Ken Hirsch.
http://invent3k.external.hp.com/~MGR.HIRSCH/.  Another way to do it would be
to use JAVA http://www.editcorp.com/Personal/Lars_Appel/JavaDemo/telnet/ as
suggested by Lars Appel.  Even though his example shows it going the other
way (telnetting TO an HP 3000).

Subject: Running a script within Telnet


Hi fellow listers.

Is it possible to run an input script into telnet so that it runs commands
on a remote system for me ?

What I have is several Unix servers that I wan't to change the access to
on a single file. I can reach the servers from my 3K machine and intended
something like

login > telnetin
pwd   >>telnetin
chmod xxx /tmp/filename >>telnetin
exit >>telnetin

Then from MPE

telnet.arpa.sys systemname < telnetin

Problem is the script stops when telnet hits the remote machine if I
ctrl "]" then it'll process the commands from my indirect file.

Any ideas if this is possible ?

TIA

Nige...
