O.K., I'm a programmer who just started last month and I need to know if Telnet has an option to execute a command after it is logged in. Anyone who could help wil be appreciated.

If it helps, commands in /etc/profile and /<users_home_dir>/.profile (ksh shell) are executed immediately when they login. Is this what you require? Regards.

Thanks, Ken. However, I need to execute the command only when someone is logging into the computer while running my remote program. Can something be done in the profile with a conditional statement to make sure it's just MY program?? Thanks again for your help!!

would it be possible for you to use 'rsh' rather than telnet ? 'rsh' connect to the remote host and executes the specified command. However you will need 'permissions' to do this.
