Non-interactive Telnet on other ports?

» close window

The Question is:

 
Using UCX, I need to provide a telnet service into VMS on a port other than
23. I would like the existing port 23 to continue functioning and set up
another service. It seems that I can't simply create a command file which
executes $SET HOST 0 or $TELNET
0. Is there a telnet executable that I can execute out of the command file?
 
Thanks, Jerry
 
 
 
 

The Answer is :

 
  Set up a symbol for the required Telnet command?
 
  Telnet and SET HOST are generally (deliberately) prevented from
  operating from within a command file for security reasons -- one of
  the few approaches to circumvent this restriction involves the use
  of pseudo-terminals.
 
  Both Telnet and SET HOST are intended for interactive use, and not for
  non-interactive (batch) operations -- there are many other approaches
  for remote (batch) operations, ranging from create an application that
  directly reads and writes messages using the Telnet protocol, to DECnet
  task-to-task (DCL- or program-based), to DQS, to SUBMIT/REMOTE, to
  rexec/rsh, and there are various other alternatives as well...
 
  The appropriate solution depends greatly on the details of the particular
  problem, which is rather difficult to infer from the proposed solution...
