Non interactive modem telnet commands

If your modem supports telnet (most do), you can use this perl script to issue commands to the modem (reboot being the most used :P)


#!/usr/bin/perl

# Define values
$usercommand = "reboot";
$host = "192.168.1.1";
$username = "myusername";
$password = "mypasswd";

use Net::Telnet ();

$t = new Net::Telnet(); # or (Timeout => 10, Prompt => '/# $/');
$t->open($host);
$t->login($username, $password);
@output = $t->cmd(String => $usercommand,
Errmode => "return",
Timeout => "1" );

### Debug - print output ###
#print @output ;


I'm back!

Yes! I'm gonna bug everyone with all my problems and rants etc. etc. and other worthless (or sometimes worthy) things in life.

And as a starter... Firefox sucks !
Hah! I bet you weren't expecting that... but.. its slow, sluggish and huge memory hog. Unfortunately, I have to use it because blogger post creation isn't compatible with Konqueror.
