let telnet execute single command in one line
hey i can login into telnet with "telnet localhost 4242" now i want to execute a single command "show network". How can i do this in one line ? something like that $ telnet localhost 4242 <- "show network" woa here the output i want I found expect to do exactly what i want, wait for a certain output and then act upon it: expect << EOF spawn telnet localhost 4242 expect -re ".*>" send "show network\r" expect -re ".*>" send "exit\r" EOF If you don't have to log in or anything, you can use a "here document" like this: telnet localhost 4242 << EOF show network EOF 来源: https://stackoverflow.com
