Hi,
I am running Solaris 2.5.1 and i'd like to know if there is a way to
automate the telnet login without having to enter my username and password.
Is there a file like .netrc for ftp that can work with telnet.
Thanks,
Richard

Have you considered rlogin with a .rhosts file in your home
directory?

A standard solution is a combination of TCL and EXPECT. I believe
Perl offers a similar functionality (not the standard distribution,
but something is available on CPAN). This is more flexible than
.netrc-type solution (which I don't believe is available for telnet).

Can you do it with a shell script ?

expect, a tcl extension can do this, see "Exploring Expect" by Don Libes from
O'Reilly & Associates, Inc contains examples of this.
Basicly expect is a script language that can automate user-shell interaction.
http://www.scriptics.com
contains tcl/tk and expect stuff (amoung other things).

I think tcsh has a builtin idlelogout variable which you can set.
It's been a while since I've used tcsh. You might want to check.
