I am new to the mac world, and would like to automate my login to cisco devices (routers, switches etc...), i am in a need of writing a script that i may just click on an icon on the desktop and it will open terminal and run a few command.
as follow:
telnet to an ip address
type the username and password
log all screen output to a file.
Currently i am using the expect and send command but cannot get the script to work as one piece.
You now if you save a password into a script it is stored in plain text right? By default I don't think telnet supports encryption either. I think you have to turn it on. Do your routers support SSH?
That part I know, I am just trying to make my life easy and not type in the user name and password to all the devices I log into.
Just want to click a file on my mac and have the script
1 open terminal.
2 start loging screen output.
3 open a telnet or ssh for u.
4 trype in my user name and password for the device.
I do these with about 50 logings per day if not more.
