Hi all, I'm setting up the perl Expect package on AIX to automate
sysadmin functions at our site. I also tried empty http://empty.sourceforge.net/
.. I seem to be having similar problems with both. I'm trying to
automate telnet login and all of the output seems to be generated
properly but there seems to be problems with synchronization because
sometimes a command gets accepted by the target system as the
username. The results are variable and sometimes it has worked.

What experiences have you had with either of these? What issues did
you encounter in setting them up? Any AIX specific issues you're
aware of?

TIA

Hi, I have not experience with AIX, but can help with "empty". If you
specify -L option you can log the session to the file. If you can
publish this log and your "telnet" the script, I hope we will find
solution.
