Telnet script

[brk1221]

Hi, I need to create a batch file on a windows machine to telnet into a remote linux box and run a script and logout. How can I automate the login process in the batch file?

Thanks

Try Using a program called expect.
I am not sure that you can use a batch file to do interactive scripting, however expect will let you do this.
Once you start reading how it works I think you will understand.

I won't be able to install anything on the remote machine, it's out isp's web server.

In that case you will need to use something like SSH with public/private keys.

Google for PuTTy ....
