Question

I am working on a robot automation project and I have run into a road block. To control the robot, one needs to connect with it wirelessly via telnet and send commands throu

Answer 1

I would be:

• writing some simple shell scripts containing the telnet interractions written as here documents.
• using a .telnetrc file in your home directory to control aspects of your telnet session, e.g. crmod
• calling the script using system calls.

This way your turnaround time to change your interractions with the robot won't involve having to recompile your programm all the time.

HTH.

cheers,
