Telnet action - separate timeout for each line of script

Hello,
I am sending some commands to telnet and it requires me to define the time in milliseconds. I have a lot of activities on different boxes, so I do not want to measure and fix the time limit. Is that some thing that I could do with out defining the timings?

That is just an upper limit on time to wait for a response, you can set it to a very large value (i.e., 3600000 for one hour) if necessary.

This is something I have asked about before as well... Your suggestion of just defining a large time does not work, since when a telnet command has failed, I do not want to wait an hour for the script to time out !!!

Can you just add some extra parsing that allows you to alter the timeout value on a line per line basis ????

If your already checking for macro syntax (ie %MYMACRO%) embedded within the telnet commands, can you just add suport for seomthing like

<<5000>>make -f blah.mk

where double angle brackets specifies the new timeout value to be used for that particular telnet command ????

Excellent, you finally implemented this !

Time to shell out some $$ for an upgrade to 8.4 then.

Thanks guys, we use the telnet feature a lot and this was the #1 bugbear for us
