bat file to run telnet session

[xerox999]

Hi,


I am trying to write a batch file which will enable me to connect to a remote host and carry out a sequence of commands and dumpp them to a txt file. The problem is that the telnet session always comes up in its GUI form. Is it possible to connect to host without bring up the telnet window.
So for example:

telnet *****
username
password

carry out commands

dump all output to a text file


many thanks to you all, sorry if this is not in the right forum.

Not sure if this will work or not, but you could try using an app like "Hide Windows" which allows you to hide app windows from the command line.

mot98 thanks for your help, but no other apps can be used.
I do have Hummingbird installed on all our PC's. I think it maybe easier to use that, any ideas?

Thanks

Does no other apps include a free telnet client? I was thinking of Tera Term Pro - which supports its own macro format, so you could write a TTPro macro to connect & do whatever then disconnect.
