Command Execution › Run Telnet Command Operator

Run Telnet Command Operator

The Run Telnet Command operator takes the following actions:

• Opens a Telnet connection to the remote host.
• Sends one command at a time.
• Reads the output of the command until it sees the prompt to indicate that the command was completed.
• Sends the next command.

Note: The Run Telnet Command operator and the Run SSH Command operator log in to the remote host differently. The Run Telnet Command operator performs the login in an interactive way.

You can set the maximum amount of time to wait for the prompt before failing the operator. Verify that this setting is greater than the execution time of the longest command that this operator executes.

You can set the Run Telnet Command operator to switch to a different user (including root) after login and before executing the commands. Switching users allows subsequent commands to be executed under a different user. Switching to different user is done interactively.
