Hello,
I work in this annoying company where I have to autheticate myself to
the company firewall every 30-50 minutes in order to access the
internet. (I think it's a checkpoint fw).
I have to run "telnet what.ever.ip.address 259" then it prompts me
with userid, then password, then I have to select "1". Then the
program closes itself and the internet is enabled.
I would like to automate this process with Python and run it every 30
miniutes so I don't have to keep typing in these userid/password
everytime. How can this be done? Is there a module I can use to
interact with the shell? (I'm running linux)
Thank you.
James
