sending keystrokes to the putty interface

[MauriceLahaije]

Newbie alert :)

I'm trying to send keystrokes to the putty client in order to automate the login process. I need to login twice, first onto the unix server, and the second time in the application. The first user/id password works fine (obviously because it's part of the commandline) , but as soon as putty is started, i'm unable to send any data to it. I tried the standard "send" command, as well as the "controlsend" command, but both don't seem to work.

I also tried this with notepad, and this is working fine. What could this be?

Run("putty -load shelfpick -l user -pw password")
Sleep(5000)
ControlSend ( "PuTTY", "", controlID, "root" [, flag = 1] )

 

Major thanks for helping me out!

Does it work if you add #RequireAdmin to the beginning of your script?

unfortunately that doesn't change anything, except for the local admin prompt.
