POHow To Automate A Telnet Session Without SendKeys
text
Body
copied!<p>I would like to telnet into my router, and I want to automate it so I do not have to login all the time, as I do it several times a day.</p> <p>Is there another method apart from sendkeys in VBS? This is because that physically types, so the telnet window needs to be active, with is rather annoying.</p> <p>I tried a batch file, but I am getting really strange results. Here it is:</p> <pre><code>telnet 192.168.1.254 REM This is the router IP ping 255.255.255.255 -n 1 -w 1000 > nul REM This is to wait for the router if its being slow George REM This is the username, as it prompts as soon as it logs in ping 255.255.255.255 -n 1 -w 1000 > nul (the password) ping 255.255.255.255 -n 1 -w 1000 > nul system REM Enters the system menu ping 255.255.255.255 -n 1 -w 10 > nul debug REM Enters the Debug menu ping 255.255.255.255 -n 1 -w 100 > nul :s cpu REM This lets me see the CPU usage ping 255.255.255.255 -n 1 -w 1000 > nul REM Wait while it lists it mem REM Checks the memory ping 255.255.255.255 -n 1 -w 1000 > nul REM Waits again! goto s REM I need a loop otherwise I would have to type out lots of code! </code></pre> <p>Here are the results:</p> <pre><code>C:\Users\George\Desktop>telnet 192.168.1.254 C:\Users\George\Desktop>telnet 192.168.1.254 ^C Terminate batch job (Y/N)? </code></pre> <p>Why is it doing this? This would be my expected result...</p> <pre><code>Username : George Password : ******* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ______ Technicolor TG582n ___/_____/\ / /\\ 8.C.M.0.AR _____/__ / \\ _/ /\_____/___ \ Copyright (c) 1999-2012, Technicolor // / \ /\ \ _______//_______/ \ / _\/______ / / \ \ / / / /\ __/ / \ \ / / / / _\__ / / / \_______\/ / / / / /\ /_/______/___________________/ /________/ /___/ \ \ \ \ ___________ \ \ \ \ \ / \_\ \ / /\ \ \ \ \___\/ \ \/ / \ \ \ \ / \_____/ / \ \ \________\/ /__________/ \ \ / \ _____ \ /_____\/ \ / /\ \ /___\/ /____/ \ \ / \ \ /___\/ \____\/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ {George}=>system {George}=>debug {George}[system debug]=>cpu CPU (%): Idle User Kernel 57.43 0.99 41.58 {George}[system debug]=>mem Total: 61280 KB Used: 45216 KB by kernel: 30748 KB by applications: 14468 KB {George}[system debug]=> </code></pre> <p>So, Why is it doing this? </p> <p>Can I use another method apart from sendkeys?</p>
