Press any key to continue. when logging in

Posted on 2009-10-08 16:00:39-07 by littlab

Is there a way to get passed a press any key at login screen.

++++++UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS IS PROHIBITED++++++ Press any key to continue.

These are 1900's running old cisco os. Once I get passed this screen I am then sent to an option screen:

User Interface Menu [M] Menus [K] Command Line Enter Selection:

With my current script I'm trying the following:

##To get to the UIM screen $session->cmd("\r"); ##So I will know it is a device running old os print "\n" . $session->last_prompt . "\n";

Any help??!!

Hi, unfortunately the current version of Net::Appliance::Session doesn't support Menu driven command line interfaces.

You could try hacking the prompt regular expressions in Net::Appliance::Phrasebook so that they match things like "key to continue" but it could be hard work and fragile. Sorry there's no support, but it is something I'm trying to work out how to do for a future version of the module.

regards, oliver.
