[ale] SSh/telnet to the host from shell

[Robert Gash]

Since you're attempting to automate the login procedure, I'd imagine
that you are trying to script an entire interactive session to
accomplish some sort of goal (get statistics, etc).


If you are attempting to automate such use of interactive programs, use
Expect to script the operation.  Expect provides a TCL-based way of
creating scripts that are capable of "using" interactive programs, which
can include telnet/ssh if you so desire. Expect is available at
http://expect.nist.gov/ .
