Unhappy Console Automation


Hi All,

I have a hardware which runs linux. I get the console of it, on a PC's COM / ttyS. I can login to the linux device using that and use it.
I want to know if i can automate the logging (From PC using any scripting application/programming) and run any command in the linux Device. also don't want to make any changes in the device. No SSH is supported.

Thanks in Advance,
Snids
