Dear All I need to schedule for a repeated task on my CentOS server, as the followings: -) Telnet to a remote node -) Issue a command -) Capture the output in a log -) Logout from Telnet -) Wait for a prescribed time interval -) Then redo , but append the subsequent output in just on file Can you please let me know which options do we have to write such a task? Thank you

If the remote end of this is some dumb device that can only do telnet, use expect, kermit, or perl's Net::Telnet module to chat with it. If it is another computer, set up ssh keys and just run remote commands directly. And use cron to schedule the runs.
