Hi Philip,

I used these commented lines just to show that I've tried all these options, but, none of them is working :(. For you, I've copied lines of code that is being executed. Please see below code-

use Net::Telnet;
BEGIN { $|=1 }
$user = "administrator";
$pass = 'pass';

$telnet = new Net::Telnet ( Timeout=>20, Errmode=>'die', Prompt => '/[
+%#>] ?$/',    Dump_Log=>"dumplogs.txt", Input_log=>"inputlogs.txt", O
+utput_log=>"outputlogs.txt");

$telnet->open('xx.xx.xx.xx');
$telnet->login(Name=>$user, Password=>$pass, Prompt => '/[%#>:] ?$/');
$command = qq(msiexec \/qn \/i \\\\10.210.156.150\\SEP_Builds\\Jaguar\
+\Integration\\940\\DVD-SEP-EE\\SEPx64\\Sep64.msi \/norestart RUNLIVEU
+PDATE=0 \/l\*v C:\\Compatibility_Automation_Temp\\SepClientInstallLog
+.txt);

print "command is: [$command]\n";
@output = $telnet->cmd(String=>$command);
print "output is:\n@output\n";
exit;

We are making progress. The nest step is to prove that you can execute a simple command on the target machine via Telnet. The ideal command would be perl -v so that we can see that we can start perl remotely. Once that done we can put the desired msiexec command in a perl script on the target machine and start that. So: can you execute perl remotely via Telnet on the target machine?

Hi Philip,

Here, I want to mention a point. Actually, I wanted to remove the dependencies of installing something on remote machine. That is why I came up with this "Telnetting" idea. Otherwise, earlier I was doing this stuff using Jenkins(a tool that allows us to add client machine and fire commands on the client). In that case, there were so many dependencies of installing Java, Perl with required modules etc. So, I thought to get rid of it and just use telnetting and fire commands from there. In this way, I don't require to install anything on remote machine. just need one machine with everything installed as a server from where I can initiate this telnet script.

I hope, you have understood my problem. Now, as you were asking about any simple command to run using this script, please see below script with its output-

use Net::Telnet;
BEGIN { $|=1 }
$user = "administrator";
$pass = 'crt@123';

$telnet = new Net::Telnet ( Timeout=>20, Errmode=>'die', Prompt => '/[
+%#>] ?$/',    Dump_Log=>"dumplogs.txt", Input_log=>"inputlogs.txt", O
+utput_log=>"outputlogs.txt");
$telnet->open('10.217.50.218');
$telnet->login(Name=>$user, Password=>$pass, Prompt => '/[%#>:] ?$/');
$command = qq(ipconfig && hostname);

print "command is: [$command]\n";
@output = $telnet->cmd(String=>$command);
print "output is:\n@output\n";

exit;

And the output of this script is-

C:\Compatibility_Automation_Temp>perl test1.pl
command is: [ipconfig && hostname]
output is:

Here, you can see it's working fine. Please suggest me for further.
