The Solution Rating System
|
|
| With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating. - The Grade of the Solution
- The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
- The Number of Author and Expert Comments
- The Number of Experts Contributing
- The Feedback of the Community
Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site. If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support. Thank you! |

Asked by ktwdallas in Linux, Scripting Languages, Shell Scripting
First off, I've searched for examples of telnet through a shell script and every response always starts back "use SSH, here's an example"... but I can't use SSH in this scenario. I'm using telnet to connect to a video playback box (Adtec) and it's the controller program that actually responds on port 23 to control what the box is playing. (SSH is hooked up, but it's standard SSH to get to the file system and that's not what I'm interested in.)
So ... what I'm trying to accomplish is to use a shell script (which will be a cron job) that telnet's to the box, logs in, and then stays in a loop and every 10 seconds issues a "status" command. The status command is just a single line (05 "30min.mpg" 3315907 01 00 00 010 0007726 10 25 2008 108 25 00 32 04 148 53 44) and I have take that string and submit it as part of a URL.
I have the second part from an earlier script, mostly I just need an example of logging in through telnet and issuing the command.
