Using Lotuscript to initiate a telnte screen scrape?

Hey there… I want to try something out with Lotuscript, but I’m not sure if it’s possible…

I want to trigger an agent that telnets to a host, runs a command, and reads the text back into the agent.

Is this possible?

I can’t think of where to start…? How do I create a session to the TCP interface to start a connection?

Any ideas?

out of curiosity, is this a straight telnet session or a TN3270 session? What telnet client software are you using?

You should be able to do this using Win32 API. Search for Visual Basic examples on Internet.

You can also try to output result to text file instead of outputting to screen. Then you can read text file from your agent.
