Hi,
I am using Redhat linux 7.0.I wish to know about how
to do remote login through telnet at a specified
time using the script.for e.g,suppose I want to
do telnet to a machine in my local network at the
specified time by entering the login name and
password,but using script i am unable to do that.

If anybody knows how to give login name and password
using script then please tell me.

Thanks for advance.

Don't use telnet for remote login; it's insecure. The better way to do that is with ssh. Also with ssh agent you can generate keys and securely access the remote box without giving a username and password. See this article for a nice tutorial on how to do that:
