I use expect for this sort of job - scripting of an interactive task.
This uses tcl, so some learning to achieve, but expect works well and is
well documented.

Hi folks. I've been googling all day, searching the forums, and
looking at
other spots but obviously I'm doing something wrong.
I'm trying to now setup some customization in Xymon for business applications.
I want to do it either with a homemade script, download, or using
built in
features.
My first task is to try and login to an ftp server using a test id
and
password to verify it is up and accepting connections.
Next would be to connect via sFTP and try the same thing.
I'm also trying to do the same kind of tasks with webpages that host
applications.
Can someone point me to the best way to do this from our Xymon
server, and
if there are code snips of how to make an ftp connection, send an ID,
Password, and then quit, I would really appreciate knowing where to
find
them.
Regards,
