Hi, I would like to use the telnet client via with cron & script to execute special command on a telnet server. On telnet manual i saw the -l option used to specify the user. But i dont find any way to give the password (of course in clear text, i dont speak here about security). I try several commands like ] telnet -l $user host <passwdor ] echo password | telnet -l $user host ]cat passwordfile | telnet -l $user host None of this works. Does someone can help me ? Thanks. -- Gui
