Well in windows 2000 you have no more than:

TELNET <ADDRESS> <PORT>

What more do you need to have aside from the above?

frequently a queue from a printer from the vms system is blocked ... then we login trough telnet 'shut down' the queue en restart it ... instead of doing this manually each time i would like to write . bat for it so it goes automaticly

greetings,

Unfortunately I am unaware of a way of doing this. I believe that as soon as you opened up telnet the rest of the batch file would cease to run, although I could stand to be corrected.

You can't do anything even close with the standard telnet client that ships with Windows.

There are telnet clients that are scriptable, although I don't know of any that are free.

CRT from

http://www.vandyke.com

works great and is not expensive. They have a 30 day free trial, so you may want to check it out.

You may want to consider a different way of resetting the queue. Really depends upon the OS on the server, but most everything modern has some method of dealing with this kind of task. Linux and most flavors of unix are capable of dealing with remote procedure calls in particular.

Hello,

All of you thx for the help ... I downloaded the program 'terra' . It is a an easy to use telnet client who is scriptable in plain basic .
I didnt tried it out yet but i saw the examples and it should do the trick.
