hi All,

I am trying to do below and I am stuck I would appreciate your help.

1. Telnet run script 1 (this should be run without time out)
2. Telnet and run script 2.
3. Telnet and stop script 1 upon successful completion of step 2.

currently with the code I got…

when I do step 1…since I do not specify the timeout it is just stuck  
or when I specify the time out it times out and never get to run the  
second step.

Please give me some ideas. I tried to run the 1 step script in  
background but then when the telnet session end and goes to the step 2 1  
script dies as telnet session has ended…
