Need to check Telnet Login in Hudred servers !!

[ezhilarasan_1]

Hi,

I need to check if my unix userid is working
in hundreds of Unix server. The userid and password are same, but only host will be different.

Manually doing telnet login to all server is
very time consuming. So I try to hard code a single script to login. Then I try to rcp .profile to the local unix host with name as hostname_profile. Then exit, try to do same
way for next server and so on.

Can you please write a small unix script for this for one server (sample). Similar way I will do for all my servers.

Thanks

Make a list of hostnames.

Save password in a file called pword

while read -r hostname
do
telnet $hostname < pword
rc=$?
if [ $rc -eq 0 ]
then
echo "success"
else
echo "$hostname failed error $rc"
fi

done < list.of.hostnames

This script is not totally working and may need some tweaks. Consider it conceptutal.

Take a look here, you can write a script using expect or perl to do automatic logins using telnet;
