Automate login

[ionmich]

I have software that connects me via a console to an internet account. It requires me to login in from the keyboard with username and password. Can READLINE read standard output, and wait for a prompt (such as "User:")? Then how can I pass a string to standard input?

Thanks in advance.

Hi ionmich,

This cannot be done in BaCon. But it is easy to create a simple script using telnet, as follows:

(sleep 1; echo username; sleep 1; echo password; sleep 1; <mybaconcommand>; sleep 1;exit)|telnet host

This way, you can script your telnet sessions and execute a BaCon binary on the remote machine.

Hope it helps,
Peter
