Hi,
I have a application where my script needs to do the following:
1)Telnet to a system, say A.
2)Do a bunch of tasks.
3)Reboot the system, A.
4)Again telnet to the system, A to check if it is on.
I have working code for 1, 2 and 4 parts. But I got some questions relating to 3)
I can use 
#The enxt two lines are only for reference
#$t = new Net::Telnet (Timeout => 1000);
#$t->open("10.10.4.11");
$t->cmd(reboot);

but generally the target system, A hangs at the time (normally if you were working on A's console then you do a enter or something and we will get the command prompt).
1)How can I get the command prompt back and control back to the perl script?
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
R 2)
