Portmon telnet example

This is an example for using Telnet to get a process list.

# ('$' prompt must be escaped with '\')
# BE SURE TO NOT USE BLANK LINES UNLESS YOU REALLY
# WANT THEM TO BE USED;
USE COMMENTS INSTEAD
#
[WRITE LINE]
ps -ef
#
[READ UNTIL]
\$
#
[WRITE LINE]
exit

Note

When using characters of special significance to the operating system, ensure special care is taken (for example, testing for the next Command Prompt occurrence) using the [READ UNTIL] command. See the example below.

The On Screen or From File modes differ slightly. For both, single characters must be escaped. The From File mode also requires that the brackets [...] of a regular expression be escaped.

On screen
[READ UNTIL]
\$ (esc $); or \#, \%, \>
[$] (bracketed $)
[$#%>] (first occurrence of $, #, %, or >)

From File
[READ UNTIL}
\$ (esc $); or \#, \%, \>
\[ ... \] (escaped regular expressions as above)
