Well, that doesn't seem to work either.
My script now is:
spawn telnet <ip here>
sleep 5
send "login <name here>"
sleep 5
send "<pass here>"
I used xterm -e <scriptname> to start xterm, and I do see it runs the script,
but I'm still not seeing anythng.
Maybe I'm taking the wrong approach.
What I want to do is:
1) start up three xterms
2) In each xterm
* start a telnet session to another machine
* auto login w/ password
* continue to use each session as if I did this all manually.
Starting up three xterms isn't a problem, but automating the logins is..
