Alright I'm drawing a blank here but I know I used to run some linux command that would automatically generate a shell script for me based on how i interacted with the shell. Example: If i remember right i would prefix my command id like to run with the command i'm trying to remember and it would automatically build my shell script based on the filename i gave it to output. Like this...
<command> telnet "whoever" > file.sh I dont know if that's how i use to run it but i think it was close.
The command logged the telnet session and based on my input of username and password it generated a script automatically based on that criteria I typed. This was just one example that i used it for. It was a good command to save time in writing a script to automate certain things that required user intervention.
Anybody know what im talking about? Im pretty sure its a standard linux command but last time i used it was probably ten or twelve years ago before Ubuntu, when Red Hat was still just Red Hat

PROBLEM SOLVED!!! Ok i found it. I had to download it but the command is autoexpect. It automatically generates an EXPECT script by watching the entire process. Example: autoexpect -f autologin.sh telnet 192.168.1.1 This will automatically build a script for me called autologin.sh and automate everything that i previously just did in the telnet session. Thank you for your help anyways.
