Telnet SessionLog Problem

asawyer13 · Post by **asawyer13** » Thu Apr 09, 2009 2:01 am

I am trying to do my first telnet session.

I am having trouble in getting it to work so I tried to see the session log by doing:

Code: Select all

MessageModal>TELNET_SESSIONLOG

but the Message box just shows TELNET_SESSIONLOG (the actual text)

I am using V11 Pro.

This is my code, I have replaced passwords, etc with xxxx

Code: Select all

TelnetConnect>www.mydomain.com,23,hTN

TelnetWaitFor>hTN,login,8,r
TelnetSend>hTN,yuser%CR%
TelnetWaitFor>hTN,password,5,r
TelnetSend>hTN,xxxx%CR%
TelnetWaitFor>hTN,>,5,r
TelnetSend>hTN,cd sql%CR%
TelnetWaitFor>hTN,$,5,r
TelnetSend>hTN,mysql --database=asbo -u xxxn --password=xxxx --show-warnings <error>>temp.lis
TelnetWaitFor>hTN,$,600,r
TelnetSend>hTN,mysql --database=asbo -u xxxn --password=xxxx --show-warnings <output>>temp.lis
TelnetWaitFor>hTN,$,600,r

MessageModal>TELNET_SESSIONLOG
TelnetClose>hTN

Any help would be appreciated.

Something I just noticed that seems a little weird.
The actual mysql statements that I'm sending is:

mysql --database=asbo -u xxxn --password=xxxx --show-warnings >temp.lis

But when I wrap it in code it changes the

I'm assuming the forum is doing this, and that the program wouldn't have a problem, but I wanted to let you know.

This doesn't explain why the session log isn't being displayed either.

At the bottom of your posting screen disable HTML. You may actually want to change that in your Profile for the forum.

No chance yet to look ar your real problem.......

I understand the html setting, and that is now corrected, but I'm still trying to understand why the MessageModal>TELNET_SESSIONLOG isn't working.

Is anyone else having this issue?

I downloaded the newest version of MS yesterday, so I'm sure I'm using the most current, or at least the most current as of yesterday.

MessageModal>%TELNET_SESSIONLOG%

That is how the user guide showed using a similar system variable for SMTP.

I had tried that also, but it didn't work, but tonight I will try again to confirm that.

If you are only seeing "TELNET_SESSIONLOG" then it cannot have logged in. The variable is only filled once the login is successful. It then gets appended with the output of the session.

So if you are seeing "TELNET_SESSIONLOG" the variable hasn't yet been created/set, so the login must have failed.

Using the debugger look at the value of hTN and r. If there was no initial connect then hTN would be zero. If it connected but the login failed I would expect the rest of the commands to timeout so r will at some point be set to TIMEOUT.

I've never used this command so was just testing it. From my results, I was going to say pretty much what Marcus just told you. If you have the TelnetConnect> line incorrect the variable "TELNET_SESSIONLOG" does not get set to anything.

Try using the server's IP address in the TelnetConnect> line

I will try these suggestions tonight and let you know.
Thanks for your help.

I think I may have confused myself.
I'm wanting to login to my Linux server remotely, and I think I really need SSH and not Telnet.
Is there a way to use SSH with MS?

I found the Blog entry on SSH, so I am going to give that a try.
Sorry for the confusion.
