Please be informed that the remote node is a VxWorks node that currently does not support ssh. Actually I need to telnet to it and issue some commands and capture the output of the commands in a file and then wait for a prescribed time interval and then redo from the start (but I need to append all of the logs in just one file). I want to automate this procedure. Please help me. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
