Xstart provides a command tag function to automate repetitive commands. Command tags are entered in [Command].

Tag

Description

<%CR%>

Send CR (Carriage Return, \r) character.

<%LF%>

Send LF (Line Feed, \n) character.

<%SEND="string"%>

Send a character string. Xstart does not convert DISPLAY and PCADDR variables in the character string.

<%WAIT="string1|string2"%>

Stand by for string1 or string2.

<%SLEEP=n%>

Sleep for n seconds.

<%POPUP="string"%>

Open the Remote execution result window if a designated character string is received.

All tags are processed in sequence except for the POPUP tag which is valid till the command is completed in its entirety.

  • Note
    Command tags are supported by TELNET and RLOGIN protocols. To use this function in an SSH protocol, select [Allocate a terminal before executing the command] in the [Options] tab of the SSH Protocol Setup dialog box. When a terminal is allocated, shell environment variables are set as per the general login environment. 

Example

  1. The following command is an example of a multi-login. Log in to a host with Xstart, and connect to another host using telnet and run xterm: telnet host2<%CR%><%WAIT="login:"%>root<%CR%> <%WAIT="Password:"%>password<%CR%><%WAIT="$"%>xterm –ls –display $DISPLAY
  2. The following command is an example of the display Remote execution result window when a character string "assword:" is displayed. This command is useful when password expires in a fixed cycle and a new password must be entered before a command line prompt is displayed: <%POPUP="assword:"%>xterm –ls –display $DISPLAY
