telnet session script

[girish_n]

The below code when called within a script works on Sun but the same does not work in HP UX. Is there anything to be added or removed from the code ....
The code shown below telnets to the port 10054 on IP 10.11.12.13 and shows the local file file.txt and then close the telnet session that was opened.

send_alarm() {
telnet 10.11.12.13 10054 <<-EOF
echo `cat /home/abc/file.txt`
quit
EOF
}

Hi, can you give us a -x (debug) on the script? i.e. #!/bin/ksh -x instead of #!/bin/ksh

I tried the following and it worked fine:

/tmp/david/t.sh:
send_alarm() {
telnet localhost 25 <<-EOF
`cat /tmp/david/telnet.text`
quit
EOF
}

send_alarm

/tmp/david/telnet.text:
HELP


If you want the commands executed, I suggest to take the 'echo' away..

Kind regards,
David de Beer.
