I am looking for a UNIX based serial comm program that will
allow controlling a remotely connected system console with
commands issued from a text file.
I need something that will allow me to interact with the
connected console through some scripting language with
decision making capability.
For instance, some basic commands might be:
TYPE "login" /* send the chars "login" to remote dev */
WAIT 10 /* do nothing for 10 seconds */
PROMPT "password:" /* wait for prompt "password:" */
TYPE "foo" /* when found, send chars "foo" */
Other useful commands would be:
<label> /* label for branching to from above */
WATCHFOR "<string>" <label> /* if <string> is found jump to <label> */
PANIC 20 <label> /* if nothing happens in 20 seconds,
jump <label */
Programs like ZCOMM, PROCOM, etc for the PC and Red Ryder
for the MAC have this capability.
Anybody have any suggestions?
