I’ve been using this tool and it’s great – with one exception. I can’t seem to run escape commands. Anything wrapped in the “” it treats as plain text, anything outside it, the session just ignores. Anyone found a solution to this?

When I try using this on a Unix system it works great for accounts that don’t have passwords. However, when using an account that has a passwords (optimal of course), it hangs up at the first Wait after the password.

WAIT “login:”
SEND “account\m”
WAIT “Password:”
SEND “password\m”
WAIT “system prompt” <– hangs up here waiting according to the current state window. "system prompt" is not actually what is sent as what is sent is system specific. This also happens if I remove the WAIT between the account login and the password SEND. Any ideas? Thanks.

Some of these tools are new to me, maybe you could add them to my site for review.

Do you know if there is a way to construct a loop for wait a certain time, or another way to do this, instead of wait for a text chain?
Thanks for this, and kind regards.

That’s a Zyxel router. You don’t need to wait anything, just send “24″ then send “8″ and you are at the command line.

Just remove the wait lines, I know the documentation said you can’t sent 2 send together, but it work I did try it.

How should I handle the long strings of text?
For example, after loggin in with this

192.168.1.1

WAIT “Password:”

SEND “1234\m”

I get this

7 [1;24r 8 [;H [2J [5;6HGetting [5;14HStarted [6;8H1. [6;11HGeneral [6;19HSetup [7;8H2. [7;11HWAN [7;15HBackup [7;22HSetup [8;8H3. [8;11HLAN [8;15HSetup [9;8H4.

It’s the menu of the router, so it has loads of options and my question is, what should I put in the WAIT command so it let me keep moving? Is it possible to use a * to replace long strings or something similar?

Thanks in advance.

I’m glad you are hosting a copy of the file, I was having trouble tracking it down.
