Handling Telnet session using VBScript

[Yogalakshmi]

Hi,

I am new to this scripting world, i am facing some problem while executing a similar script as described in this thread...

I have to lauch telnet to execute some Unix commands, while searching for the answer, by luck i have seen this tread ASendKeys problem... and it is quite useful also... but while i am trying to execute the script,

its throwing the message as Object required:'WScript'

Script:

Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run "CMD.EXE /K telnet unix"
WshShell.AppActivate "telnet racerx"
WScript.Sleep 100000
WshShell.AppActivate "telnet unix"
WshShell.Wscript.Sleep 10000
WshShell.Sendkeys username
WshShell.AppActivate "telnet unix"
WshShell.Sendkeys "~"
WshShell.AppActivate "telnet unix"
WScript.Sleep 100000
WshShell.AppActivate "telnet unix"
WshShell.Sendkeys pwd
WshShell.Sendkeys "~"

Thanks in Advance,
Yoga

An alternative to send keys is described here:

Object required:'WScript'
your code should be in a .VBS file

Hope This Helps, PH.

Hi,

thanks for ur replies...

and i am not facing any problem with Sendkey... WScript is not getting identified as an object at all...

and i have tried by saving that file as .vbs only... but still i got that msg...

Well this line looks wrong
WshShell.Wscript.Sleep 10000

Should just be
Wscript.Sleep 10000

Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

WshShell.Run "CMD.EXE /K telnet unix"
WshShell.AppActivate "telnet racerx"
WScript.Sleep 100000
WshShell.AppActivate "telnet unix"
Wscript.Sleep 10000
WshShell.Sendkeys username
WshShell.AppActivate "telnet unix"
WshShell.Sendkeys "~"
WshShell.AppActivate "telnet unix"
WScript.Sleep 100000
WshShell.AppActivate "telnet unix"
WshShell.Sendkeys pwd
WshShell.Sendkeys "~"

and like PHV stated, make sure it is in a .vbs file.

What script host are you using?

Is this a WSH script or a script in an HTA or HTML page?
