Putty commands through AutoIT

[Jason86]

Hi,

I would like to automate Putty commands whereby it will select my saved telnet session (so open Putty Configuration and select session) and afterwards it will open the Putty-prompt and will do next commands:

<Enter>
ACCESS <Enter>
'UserName' <Enter>
SET Priv <Enter>
'Password' <Enter>
LOG PORT ALL <Enter>

And close Putty

Kind of new in AutoIT so all help is welcome !

 

Thanks in advance,

Regards,

You might want to check out plink.exe (command line putty) which works better for non-interactive telnet operations and can be run from a batch file.

Agree that plink is probably your best bet. I do a lot in putty sessions for customers, and use the following as a framework:

Local $sEXE = @MyDocumentsDir & "\PuTTY\PLINK.EXE"
Local $sUser = " -l root"
Local $sPass = " -pw Password1"
Local $sCommand = " esxcli storage vmfs unmap -l "

    For ...
        ShellExecute($sEXE, " -ssh " & $aRange1[$a][1] & $sUser & $sPass & $sCommand & $aRange1[$a][0]) ; - Pulls datastores from excel range and runs vmfs unmap
    Next

Depending on your circumstances you may also want to look at using ssh keys rather than embedding your username/password (care where you put the private key!).

so something like : putty.exe -load “session name” but how to start this session and run the commands ? :s

 Thanks SlackerAl , I found this on the net:

\path\to\putty.exe -load "[Sessionname]" -l [user] -pw [password] -m C:\path\to\commands.txt

 

and in commands.txt I'll put the commands mentioned here beneath :

<Enter>
ACCESS <Enter>
'UserName' <Enter>
SET Priv <Enter>
'Password' <Enter>
LOG PORT ALL <Enter>

Thanks !
