I am using 24x7 Scheduler Ver. 3.4.24 (not registered)
I need to login a server in my network using TELNET and have to give some commands (eg: ls -ltr, sqlplus).
I used "Telnet Automation" Job under "FTP, Web, & Telnet Examples" 24x7 Scheduler provided.
I edited it's script and enter my server IP, User name and password.
I can login to that server using this job, but cannot enter commands.
I edited that job as follows,
Dim( sFileList, string )

TelnetConfig( "terminal", "show" )
TelnetOpen( "10.40.25.110", "aaa", "aaaaa" )
TelnetSend( "ls -ltr" )
TelnetReceive( sFileList )
TelnetClose( )

MessageBox( sFileList )
While running this job I received a error message as follows,
Ls -ltr
Type Is -ltr unknown
TERM=(unknown)
Continue?
How can I enter this command?

1. after TelnetOpen try adding Wait( 5 ) to allow your Telnet server session to initialize completely.
2. If that along is not enough tell your Telnet server explicitly that you want to emulate vt100 terminal
TelnetSend("set term=vt100")

3. To find out your default terminal settings login using regular command line Telnet client and then after login run
printenv | grep TERM

or if that doesn't work then
set | grep term

4. Let us know what you get there

1. First I tried adding Wait ( 5 ), but it not worked.
2. After that I found default terminal settings using your command "printenv | grep TERM" result is "TERM=ansi"
3. After that I nchanged my script like this

Dim( sFileList, string )

TelnetConfig( "terminal", "show" )

TelnetOpen( "10.40.25.11", "marc", "marc001" )

Wait( 5 )

TelnetSend("set term=vt100")

TelnetSend( "ls -ltr" )

TelnetReceive( sFileList )

TelnetClose( )

MessageBox( sFileList )
4. But it not worked. I received error Message like this

set term=vt100

Type set term=vt100 unknown

TERM=(unknown) ls -ltr

Type ls -ltr unknown

if your regular Telnet prompt includes a $ (e.g. marc$) type
export TERM=vt100

If it is a % prompt, you are probably using the C shell and need to type
setenv TERM vt100

This will change your terminal type for the duration of the current job session. To alter it within your start-up file, so that it applies to every session:

from the $ prompt type
pico .bash_profile

or from the % prompt type
pico .login

use the arrow keys to go to the part that includes the comment
# Sort out the terminal.
and overtype 'unknown' with vt100 (no quotes)

press the ctrl key and type x to exit pico
when prompted for the filename press return
