Connect a telnet session through batch script/file.?

Question

Hi all,
I want to automatically open a telnet session through a batch script. The user name and password should also be automatically supplied by the batch script. After opening the telnet session it should execute a set of commands on the telnet server/device. I have tried using some batch script but it opens a telnet window. This is not my objective. I hope there should be some way by which we can suppress the telnet command/run it in the background.
This is very urgent for me and my expertise in batch programming is novice.
Regards,
Ranjan

You did not mention the operating system. On Linux you would use the BG command to force it into the background.

On WIndows I think you might have to shift to a programming language to get it.

I also have to recommend using SSH instead. It allows for all of that plus you would not have to have a login and password in plain site in the file for others to find.
