# unix_telnet

### MODULE

unix_telnet

### MODULE SUMMARY

Callback module for ct_telnet for talking telnet to a unix host.

### DESCRIPTION

Callback module for ct_telnet for talking telnet to a unix host.

It requires the following entry in the config file:

       {unix,[{telnet,HostNameOrIpAddress},
              {port,PortNum},                 % optional
              {username,UserName},
              {password,Password},
              {keep_alive,Bool}]}.            % optional

To talk telnet to the host specified by HostNameOrIpAddress, use the interface functions in ct, e.g. open(Name), cmd(Name,Cmd), ....

Name is the name you allocated to the unix host in your require statement. E.g.

       suite() -> [{require,Name,{unix,[telnet,username,password]}}].

or

       ct:require(Name,{unix,[telnet,username,password]}).

The "keep alive" activity (i.e. that Common Test sends NOP to the server every 10 seconds if the connection is idle) may be enabled or disabled for one particular connection as described here. It may be disabled for all connections using telnet_settings (see ct_telnet).

Note that the {port,PortNum} tuple is optional and if omitted, default telnet port 23 will be used. Also the keep_alive tuple is optional, and the value defauls to true (enabled).
