I want to build a script or a batch file that I can set to run on a daily basis that will telnet to a device and then send commands to it. Basically it would need to telnet and then run a command and exit out of the device. I was thinking I could do this with a batch file and run it as a Scheduled task. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I like long walks, especially when they are taken by people who annoy me.

You can't script telnet without expect.exe. You could also use netcat (nc.exe), which would probably be easier. With netcat you can redirect a text file with all your telnet commands in it to nc.exe like this,

nc ip_address -p 23 < cmds.txt

A slight correction. You can also script telnet using more advanced scripting languages like Perl/Python etc, which provides better program control , like exceptions etc..
