<div>
Try putting two &quot;return&quot; lines under the &quot;.&quot;.<br />
<br />
For example.<br />
..your code..<br />
<br />
.<br />
<br />
<br />
&lt;end of script&gt;<br />
<br />
Also, i would use NetCat, (nc.exe), rather than telnet.

Try putting two "return" lines under the ".".

For example.
..your code..

.


<end of script>

Also, i would use NetCat, (nc.exe), rather than telnet.

<div>
the crlf under the . doesn't work.
</div>


<div>
<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have a batch file that telnets to a SMTP server, and emails error codes on some SQL backups.<br />
<br />
Everything works except where you're supposed to send a . on a line by itself. <br />
<br />
It doesn't seem to recognize the '.', so it doesn't get to the quit command.<br />
<br />
If I watch the script, I can put the . in with the keyboard, but it defeats the purpose of having a scheduled task.<br />
<br />
Without getting into a 3rd party software, would anybody have any suggestions?
