I imagine you use expect and a script on the client itself, and just
telnet to localhost. We have some apps like that also, and that was our
solution. I know it would be nice to do it from the server, but it
still achieves the goal.

Hi,
I've been duplicating a number of the tests that we ran in Big
Brother through external scripts in the bb-services config file.
One of these old perl test files opened up a telnet session and
navigates
through some menus to confirm the application is running.
The application is crap and needs to pause between each command
otherwise
the session remains open. Is there a way to pause for a length of time
as
this app doesn't seem to cache the commands?
No, I'm afraid there isn't. It would be nice to be able to handle such
a dialogue style of network testing, but that is not possible with the
current network tester.
Regards,
Henrik
