Hi all,
  just wondering if anyone knows how can i automate the keystrokes
commands in Linux, just like AutoMate 4.0 in Windows?
What i want to do is to automate the input from the keyboard everytime i
want to login to my hotmail acct. I dont want to type my id & pwd
everything i want to check my mail. All i want to do is just run the
script, and it will bring me straight to the ibox page.

Anyone knows if there is something similar to AutoMate in Linux? Thanks
for any info.

Your might try 'expect'; it's usually bundled with tcl/tk.

Sounds like a job for Expect.

1. Automate Keystrokes in Telnet

Hi,

I'm looking for a way to automate the process of loging into another
server with telnet and entering a series of keystrokes.  Some of the
keystrokes will be variable coming from a file. One of the keystrokes is
a <tab>.  Preferrably from my Linux Box.

I'm currently using a pc running Windows 3.1 to do this with a macro
language called Symatic Basic but after a hundred records the thing
craps out because of a memory leak.

Any help on this would be very much appreciated.

Sincerely,

Joel Susser
