Expect Utility and Telnet


Can anyone tell me how I can simply using expect, telnet to a host, get the login prompt, end the telnet session right there and then send the results to variable.

PHP Code:
 telnet 192.168.1.2 
Trying 192.168.1.2
... 
Connected to 192.168.1.2
Escape character is '^]'
login
telnetquit 
Connection to 192.168.1.2 closed

but instead:

PHP Code:

# in the script.  # Open a telnet session to a remote server, and wait for a prompt.

  
spawn telnet $remote_server
  expect 
"login:"
# Exit the telnet session.
  
send "exit\r"
  

# Capture the results of the command into a variable. This can be displayed, or written to disk.

set results $expect_out(buffer
Thanks

Your script looks good but you just need to send "^]\rquit\r" instead of exit.
