Hi,

I want to reboot my adsl modem at specific interval.

I can reboot the modem manually by issuing the reboot command as
follows from the command prompt.


------------------
telnet 198.67.1.1
login:admin
password:admin
reboot
----------------------


But i want to make a batchfile or some sort of script/macro to do this
automatically at scheduled time..

but in batch file mode the command just doesnt get completed it gives
some error...


so any idea how i can give the above commands automatically...

Help will be greatly appreciated..

Thanks very much.

OK, but I'm wondering why.

Yes.

There's a problem with that idea.

There are several problems. Telnet is an insecure way to do things.
The Win telnet client is not scriptable as is.

You need more security and you need a scriptable client; presumably a
free one. Most secure scriptable telnet clients aren't free. TeraTerm
Pro works for Win98 and I think there's a newer v.

"Linux Shell Script to reboot DSL or ADSL router."

Expect^1 is an excellent utlities scripting too for *n*x distros.

There is also a Win port of expect. http://expect.nist.gov/#windows
Obtaining Expect for Windows

Interesting about the tools which the nist.gov site has made available
at their site.

^1 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expect Expect is a Unix automation and
testing tool, written by Don Libes as an extension to the Tcl scripting
language, for interactive applications such as telnet, ftp, passwd,
fsck, rlogin, tip, ssh, and others. With Tk, interactive applications
can be wrapped in X11 GUIs.
