I'm trying to get a Perl script (with the Expect module installed) to
control a session with the client. The username/password interaction
works but everything after that (the escaped control key sequences) seem
to disappear into the bit bucket. I've looked at the users Archive back
to July 2002 but didn't see anything that would help. What am I doing
wrong? Is there some config parameter that I've missed?
Conserver is running on Solaris 8. Conserver version 7.2.2; I know, it's
old, really old, and I've requested that it be upgraded to the latest
version. Will that fix my problem?
Perl version 5.6.1, Expect version 1.15
The Perl/Expect environment appears to work. I've been able to control
FTP sessions with it. In trying to control a console session, the
Perl/Expect script times out waiting for the "[ Enter '^EC?' for help ]"
string after the username/password has been exchanged. I also tried
using Perl/Telnet to do the same thing from a remote system and had a
similar problem, the username/password part works but Telnet times out
waiting for the "[ Enter '^EC?' for help ]" string. I turned on the
Telnet logging to see what was going and the string shows up in the log
but Telnet never responds to it.
Or maybe there is a better way to programmatically control a client
session without using Perl? Any suggestions, ideas, help is greatly
appreciated.
