I'm trying to use a python script to access an embedded computer
running linux and connected via a crossover ethernet cable using the
following script...
....and I realize the username and password is not realistic... I'm
still in "proof of concept" stage here :)
############### ##########
import telnetlib
tn = telnetlib.Telne t('192.168.100. 11')
tn.read_until(' login: ', 5)
tn.write('user\ n')
tn.read_until(' Password: ', 5)
tn.write('passw ord\n')
tn.read_until(' bash-2.05$ ', 5)
tn.write('ls\n' )
print tn.read_very_ea ger()
############### ##########
As a script, this doesn't work. However, if I execute the same
commands interactively, it works fine. If I insert some time delays as
follows...
############### ##########
import telnetlib
import time
tn = telnetlib.Telne t('192.168.100. 11')
tn.read_until(' login: ', 5)
time.sleep(2)
tn.write('user\ n')
tn.read_until(' Password: ', 5)
time.sleep(2)
tn.write('passw ord\n')
tn.read_until(' bash-2.05$ ', 5)
tn.write('ls\n' )
time.sleep(2)
print tn.read_very_ea ger()
############### ##########
....and it works fine. Can anyone tell me what's going on here? TIA 4 10520
I just hit upon something that seems to work...
############### ###########
import telnetlib
from select import select
tn = telnetlib.Telne t('192.168.100. 11')
sock = tn.get_socket()
tn.read_until(' login: ', 5)
select([sock], [], [], 5)
tn.write('user\ n')
tn.read_until(' Password: ', 5)
select([sock], [], [], 5)
tn.write('passw ord\n')
tn.read_until(' bash-2.05$ ', 5)
tn.write('ls\n' )
select([sock], [], [], 5)
print tn.read_very_ea ger()
############### ###########
If anyone sees any potential problems with this, I would appreciate it.

What doesn't work about it? Have you checked the return value from the
read_until()s to see if they're returning anything sensible? are any of them
timing out?
Anyway, my first guess would be the use of read_very_eager (), it's something
you normally only descend to when you're stuck for something to match on.
Normally you would do another read_until() for the prompt.

Thanks for the reply. I've replaced the call to read_very_eager () with
read_until() and enabled debugging messages. My script now looks like
this...
############### ##############
import telnetlib
tn = telnetlib.Telne t('192.168.100. 11')
tn.set_debuglev el(9)
tn.read_until(' login: ', 5)
tn.write('user\ n')
tn.read_until(' Password: ', 5)
tn.write('passw ord\n')
tn.read_until(' bash-2.05$ ', 5)
tn.write('ls\n' )
print tn.read_until(' bash-2.05$ ', 5)
############### ##############
Each call to read_until() returns a valid string except for the second
one, i.e.,
tn.read_until(' Password: ', 5) returns a null string.
Here's the program output with debugging enabled...

login: ############## ############### It looks like it's sending the password before receiving the password prompt.
It looks more like it's taking longer than 5 seconds to receive the Password:
prompt so it times out, returns to your code and you send the next string
anyway but (assuming this is a valid password) the far end might throw away
any pending input when it finally does send the Password: prompt (otherwise it
would probably have got back in sync).
In short you shouldn't go past each stage unless you've verified that you got
the expected response. I can't actually remember exactly what the responses
signify but at a minimum I assume the empty string means there's no point in
continuing because what you expected to see wasn't there so you need to either
abort or try some recovery process. And also make sure you give it a
reasonable time to respond.

Dear all,
I recently came across a Python program which used "telnetlib" to automate
things in the several unix machines in our local networks; I attached the
script as follows;
I wonder if it is possible to have the equivlent libary for "rlogin" in
Python? Because our local networks support only SSH or RLOGIN. This script
used Telnet so it could not be used in our local networks;

the connection is not closed (no TCP FIN is sent to the server).

I'd like to do some tweaks on a telnet session as I have no control over

However I cannot correctly negotiate a telnet connection to the server.
