[ILUG] [OT] Windows scripting, ala expect.

[Guest, Ken]

You could use VB to shell a telnet connection and have it use the 'SendKeys'
command
to login and start off the script. Not exactly at the same level as a
'expect' script
so it won't be able to know when the script it has started in the telnet
session is 
over for it to log off though.

#Slightly off-topic but bothersome nonetheless. 
#I have some perl scripts on a Linux box that would benefit from being
#run by Windows users because they wouldn't need to bother me
#continuosly...
#Has anyone managed to script a telnet session in Windows? All I need is
#for a mouse click to open a telnet session to the remote box, login and
#run the script and exit again. 
#
#It's out of the question putting Perl on those machines, they're only
#Win98 boxes after all!
