| 774788 | 2009-05-17 23:27:00 | Does anyone know of a simple, unobtrusive Telnet client that I can set to automatically start on bootup, connect to an IP, and save the output in a .txt or .csv file? Hyperterminal kind of works, but not as simply as I'd like. |

| 774791 | 2009-05-18 02:53:00 | ^ x2 - putty has a brilliant array of CLI options; you can automate it for most tasks you're likely to want. Netcat's also brilliant, if there is a Windows version of it around (I don't know if there is). |

| 774792 | 2009-05-19 02:57:00 | Ok, so I got PuTTY to load a config via command line, and dump it to the log file, but is there any way to have it run as a system service? The box it's running on is a terminal server, so every time I log off the admin session, it kills the program. Is there another way to do this? I'm actually tempted to use this as an excuse to learn C++ and write one myself, but I suspect Telnet clients aren't the easiest place to kick off your programing :p |

| 774793 | 2009-05-19 05:06:00 | PuTTY isn't a service - if you want to run it as one, you'll need to write a wrapper for it. Alternatively, just use the windows scheduler to run it :). Note that if you just disconnect the session, rather than logging it off, PuTTY will keep right on trucking. |
