NAME

       unix_telnet - Callback module for ct_telnet for talking telnet to a unix host.

DESCRIPTION

       Callback module for ct_telnet for talking telnet to a unix host.

       It requires the following entry in the config file:

          {unix,[{telnet,HostNameOrIpAddress},
                 {port,PortNum},                 % optional
                 {username,UserName},
                 {password,Password},
                 {keep_alive,Bool}]}.            % optional

       To  talk  telnet  to  the  host specified by HostNameOrIpAddress, use the interface functions in ct, e.g.
       open(Name), cmd(Name,Cmd), ....

       Name is the name you allocated to the unix host in your require statement. E.g.

          suite() -> [{require,Name,{unix,[telnet,username,password]}}].

       or

          ct:require(Name,{unix,[telnet,username,password]}).

       The "keep alive" activity (i.e. that Common Test sends  NOP  to  the  server  every  10  seconds  if  the
       connection is idle) may be enabled or disabled for one particular connection as described here. It may be
       disabled for all connections using telnet_settings (see ct_telnet).

       Note that the {port,PortNum} tuple is optional and if omitted, default telnet port 23 will be used.  Also
       the keep_alive tuple is optional, and the value defauls to true (enabled).
