"script compiled").
6.1.3 Executing the script
Since this is a script that must be executed
after we are connected to
Eskimo North (after all, checking for
the login:
promt won't do
much good if we aren't connected), we
want to specify this script as
the "Connect script" for Eskimo North.
If you edit the dial entry for
Eskimo North from the dialing directory
menu, you'll see an item for
specifying the Connect
script. Select this item, and type
in the
name of the compiled script, eskimo.sc.
Now, when we dial Eskimo North from the
dialing directory, our new
script is executed immedialtely after
the connection is established. If
all goes well, you'll see Novaterm automatically
respond to each of
the prompts we identified.
6.1.4 A slight variation
In the above example, we had to dial Eskimo
North ourselves from
the dialing directory to execute our script.
Suppose now we want our
script to do the dialing for us. We can
insert the following line at the
beginning of our script (after the .opt
ansi command):
dial "Eskimo North"
The dial
command searches our dialing directory for Eskimo North
and dials it. The rest of the script continues
after the connection is
made.
Now, instead of putting our script in the
Connect script
field for
Eskimo North, we can execute the script
directly. Press C= G
in
Terminal Mode, and type in the name of
the script, eskimo.sc.
The
script will now take care of the dialing
for us.
6.1.5 Starting Novaterm with the script
Suppose we use this script so often that
we would like to have it
execute automatically when we start up
Novaterm. Each time we load
up Novaterm, the script would automatically
dial Eskimo North and
log us in, without any help from us!
To do this, select Configuration
from the main menu, press the
cursor-right key, and select Startup
script. Type in the
name of the script, eskimo.sc.
Then, save your configuration file by
selecting Save
configuration so that the script will
be executed
the next time Novaterm is started.
