On devices such as Cisco and HP switches/routers, you can adjust the "terminal length" or similar to prevent the --MORE-- prompt from appearing. `#term len 0 #show config` [download] On Juniper devices, you can pipe any command output into "no-more" for the same result. `> show configuration \| no-more` Check your particular OS/system for similar possibilities. This is a far simpler approach than trying to work around the problem on the receiving end. -- FloydATC Time flies when you don't know what you're doing	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Could you just give us the device details (i.e. maker, operating system, version, etc.)? BTW, a capture of a sample session may also help.	[reply]

Depending on how you connect to the remote device, Net::Telnet can also respond to a `--MORE--` prompt. Please show us the relevant parts of your code and the relevant parts of the Net::Telnet debug log so we can help you better.	[reply] [d/l]

Use Expect; modify the commands to not page output; try setting $PAGER to something that won't cause output to be paged to begin with. I personally would go for second & first options, in that order.	[reply]

Read the documentation for that device and learn how to disable pagination.	[reply]

Welcome to the monastary! What system/OS are you on? (I recall an IBM TS system with smart monitors that said "--MORE--". I can't remember the fix for that.) See How To Ask A Question (Simple English) (RFC). -QM -- Quantum Mechanics: The dreams stuff is made of	[reply]

Depending on the commands you are running remotely, there may be switches to tell them they are not being run interactively and change that behaviour - have you tried that? Cheers, Sören Créateur des bugs mobiles - let loose once, run everywhere. (hooked on the Perl Programming language)	[reply]
