Now that you know how to get all of your network services over
term
, it would be nice to set things up so your link is set
up and configured automatically. There are basically an infinite
number of ways of doing this, depending on what comm program you use
and how you log in to your remote system.
One program, that I haven't used, but I've heard is quite nice, is
fet
: a front end for term
. It is designed to log you
into a remote system and fire up term
and all your
tredir
's. Any comments on fet
would be most
welcome.
I'll now give an example of a set of commands that use kermit
to log into the remote system and then performs all of the
term
initializations. Obviously, if you use these examples,
you will have to modify them for your own login procedures.
The command which is actually invoked is the shell script knet,
given by:
#!/bin/sh /usr/bin/kermit -y $HOME/.kerm_term > $HOME/klog < /dev/null 2>& 1 exec $HOME/bin/tstart >> $HOME/klog 2>& 1
The script .kerm_term
is given by:
pause 2 # The number you want to dial output atdtXXXXXXX \13 # Login to the terminal server input 145 {name: } output MYNAME \13 input 3 {word: } output MYPASSWORD \13 input 5 {xyplex>} # Make the line transparent output term telnet-t \13 output term stopb 1 \13 # Connect to the remote host output telnet remotehost.somedomain.org \13 input 10 {ogin: } output MYOTHERNAME \13 input 3 word: output MYOTHERPASSWORD \13 pause 5 # Fire up term on the remote host output exec term -s 38400 -l $HOME/tlog -w 10 -t 150 \13 # Suspend kermit !killall -STOP kermit
and finally, the script tstart
which fires up the local
term
and its clients is given by
#!/bin/sh # # Fire up term # /usr/local/bin/term -l $HOME/tlog -s 38400 -r -w 10 -t 150 < /dev/modem > /dev/modem & # # Let it get going # sleep 3 # # This lets mail get out, can read news here, can pick up my mail here # /usr/local/bin/tredir 2025 25 2119 newshost:119 2110 pophost:110 # # So I can open up Xwindows here # /usr/local/bin/trsh -s txconn # # So I will receive mail.... # /usr/local/bin/pop # # Clean out the queue, in case of boo-boos # /usr/bin/runq # # Done now # echo ^G^G > /dev/console
As I said, there are zillions of ways to do this, these are just meant as examples to get you started.
