telnet via AutoIT

[Guest DGi]

I am trying Automate Synchronize Clocks on our network device.

Because the devices haven't NTP protocol i decide write script.

The only one communication way with the devices is telnet.

I wrote following script

;Open TELNET SERVER PORT

RUN ("cmd.exe")
Sleep(1000)
SEND ('telnet '& $CmdLine[1] &' '& $CmdLine[2] &' {ENTER}')

; User 
Sleep(1000)
Send("root{ENTER}")

; Password
Sleep(3000)
Send("letmein{ENTER}")

; Synchronize the CLOCKs 
Sleep(3000)
Send('date '& @MDAY &' '& @MON &' '& @YEAR &' '& @HOUR &' '& @MIN &' '& @SEC &'')
Sleep(1000)
Send("{ENTER}")

; EXIT
Send("exit{ENTER}")

; Close Window 
WinClose ('Telnet '& $CmdLine[1] &'')
WinWaitClose ('Telnet '& $CmdLine[1] &'')

The script works, but i would like make few additional checks:

1. Verify if the script ran with two parameters - if not send "net send msg"

Why it isn't work ?

If $CmdLine[2] ="" Then
   RUN ("cmd.exe")
Sleep(1000)
SEND (net send)
EndIf

2. Verify if telnet session is successfully connected - if not send "net send msg"

Any idea ?

Thanks

Try this for the paramter check:

If $CmdLine[0] <> 2 Then
  $cmd = "C:\WINNT\System32\Cmd.exe"
  Run ($cmd,"", @SW_SHOW)
  WinWait($cmd, "")
  ControlSend($cmd,"","","net send ...")
EndIf

Have you thought of using a third party program? If not you may want to check one out. It syncronizes your clock with the atomic clock.

Hope you get something figured out,

thanks,

your code is work,

are you have any idea about verifying telnet session ?

I'm not sure. I cannot play with telnet here, because i don't have any telnet servers to connect to. But i guess theres an error-window popping up when connection has failed. Can't you just wait a second and then look up if that error window exists? And if not -> proceed.

Just a thought.
