TelnetSend

Post by ainterne » Tue Jun 26, 2007 6:57 pm

Hi can someone help me please:

I run the following, but when I get to trying to run the remote script nothing gets sent.... I have tried . ./ and ./ etc.....but the command is never run. The log file shows the command being sent.

Is there something obvious I am missing here?

Thanks in advance for any assistance......

This issue was resolved by increasing the timeout. The code above specifies a 5 millisecond timeout. If the telnet command takes longer than 5 ms to complete the command will time out. ainterne increased the timeout to 100ms and the script completed successfully.

is this true that the timeout is in ms?? the documentation says the timeout is in seconds, and it looks to me that it is in seconds too, but i am not sure. please let me know, thanks

Sorry, you are correct, the timeout is in seconds. I guess ainterne must have had quite a slow telnet connection, or the command that was being executed took longer than 5 seconds to complete.
