Hi All, I am new to perl. Could someone help me in using waitfor command from following code, i tried a lot but could not succeed and code is timing out at line 6.
use Net::Telnet; $telnet->open('godavari.bec.ge.com'); $telnet->login ('anand','anand'); $telnet->waitfor('/\$ $/i'); $telnet->cmd("./EJS1.3.7.0/ejs/solaris/setup -console"); $telnet->waitfor('/ Continue $/i') or die "Can't find enter to contin +ue", $telnet->lastline; $telnet->print(''); $telnet->close; exit;
How do i write a waitfor statement if my input log displays following lines on executing setup as on line 5 in the code.
