SUMMARY: telnet in script.

Guys, 

Thanks for your mails but I am not allowed to install ANYTHING on the box.
No perl.
No expect.
No nmap! ;-)


Thank you to... myself for this one:

#!/bin/sh
set -x

host=10.11.12.13
port=4567

( echo open ${host} ${port}
sleep 1
echo -e 3
echo exit ) | telnet -e 3

Then I think you're stuck. Expect is the only thing I know of that can
script an interactive command. Maybe others have heard of a built-in that
will do it, but I never have.

Aren't corporate rules so screwy sometimes?

Good luck.
