Somehow that doesn't work. If I specify `$prompt= '/\nseahawk\:\>$/'` [download] it returns `[/builds/htpc2003r1/base/menu]` [download] and what's surprising is that even the log is missing the output from who command `[/builds/htpc2003r1/base/menu] seahawk:>` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Sure! Like an idiot I missed the fact that the regex would catch at the top before the 'who', though maybe adding a return .... . Like this?: `$prompt= '/\nseahawk\:\>\n$/'` Wish I knew what was at the end of that last prompt. If there is a '\n' there, this should work.

Just looked at the CPAN docs for this mod. Shows this example: `use Net::Telnet (); $t = new Net::Telnet (Timeout => 10, Prompt => '/bash\$ $/'); $t->open("sparky"); $t->login($username, $passwd); @lines = $t->cmd("who"); print @lines;` [download] Maybe use the list that comes back from your command to trim things down to what you want, like popping of the last line or two, then printing to your output.txt file yourself? If your not looking at that doc already, it is Here ...the majority is always wrong, and always the last to know about it...	[reply] [d/l]

I've already seen that doc. The problem is that I have to specify the right prompt for cmd otherwise it uses default prompt and doesn't return. And that's where I am having problems... specifying the correct pattern	[reply]
