Command Execution › Run Telnet Script Operator

Run Telnet Script Operator

The Run Telnet Script operator uses the remote host and port you specify to do the following:

• Open a Telnet connection to the remote host.
• Build a "conn" object.

  Note: When you specify a script, either bean shell or javascript, the "conn" object is made available in the scope of this script.

  You can leverage the public methods of the "conn" object in the script. The public methods are used to authenticate on the Telnet session and automate operations executed on a Telnet pseudo terminal. Examples of automated operations include the following:

  • Sending commands to the remote Telnet host.
  • Waiting for the prompt after sending each command.
  • Retrieving the output of each command.

Unlike the Run SSH Script operator, the Run Telnet Script operator does not authenticate a user ID on the Telnet connection. Instead, you must leverage the ‘conn’ object’s methods to authenticate on the Telnet connection at the beginning of your script.

Unlike the Run Telnet Command operator, the Run Telnet Script operator:

• Lets you specify which command output to view or save in the dataset of the operator. You call the following methods in this sequence:
  1. ‘conn.sendLine()’
  2. ‘conn.waitFor()’
  3. ‘conn.getLastOutput()’
• Lets you specify a different regular expression to match the prompt after the execution of each command.
• Lets you specify a different time to wait for the prompt after the execution of each command.
