This is a prime example of why I always say Backup Backup Backup. With Hard disks getting ever bigger the chance of losing more and more data is just growing. I feel sad for you at the lose of you MP3 collection.
So I was trying to find a way to schedule telnet commands, personally all I could find was commercial programs that you need to pay for and that was something I wasn’t wiling to do. Luckily I stumbled across this little gem called Telnet Scripting Tool v1.0. The program is by Albert Yale. Unfortunately the official site (http://ay.home.ml.org/) for the program doesn’t exist any more so I will provide a link to the program at the end of this article.
This program is pretty simple to use really. All you do is create a script file in notepad that contains the commands you wish to use in telnet.
Script
The following code should be placed in a text file. e.g scriptname.txt
Example:
(This example should reset any CPE Billion router – e.g 7402VGO)
192.168.1.254 23
WAIT "Login:"
SEND "admin\m"
WAIT "Password:"
SEND "default\m"
WAIT "admin>"
SEND "system restart\m"
That looks pretty simple doesn’t it. The first line of your script is always the address and port number. If you are using TCP port 23 then you don’t really have to say it, it’s considered default. First thing we do is WAIT"Login:" peace of text. Once it has done this we then respond with SEND "admin\m", this give the router the login name admin, and the \m represents the user pressing enter.
Thats pretty much it WAIT then respond to the WAIT by sending a command using SEND
Command Line
Once you have completed your script of the commands you wish to use you are now ready to issue a command to run your script.
tst10.exe /r:scriptname.txt
This causes the script file that you created to run, if you follow the example and have a billion router or another router that has the same telnet interface your modem will reset.
Scheduling
It’s now simply a matter of using Windows Scheduled Tasks to execute the command line at the time you wish.

Conclusion
Now thats not very hard to use is it, and is very useful if you need to force a reboot on a device with a telnet interface.

Copy the following code into a bat or cmd file then run it.

pauseThe code above will add a few entries to the Windows Registry that makes Microsoft think that you are a part of the Private beta program. This will mean that when you visit the Windows update site you should see SP3 RC1 as a download.
Note: Microsoft will probably catch onto this.
There back again, spammers are now using Google‘s “I’m Feeling Lucky” again. As usual with this spam it’s for drugs. I’m personally surprised that phishers haven’t picked up on this yet as a way to bypass filtering.

Welcome to asshole college, we deny our students their rightful accreditations once they have finished their study, and passed all necessary assessments. Little do we tell them that part of your assessment will be that we look up your MySpace, and or other social networking site, profile and if we find any incriminating photos we will deny you your rightful accreditations based on no evidence other than a photo of you drinking a fluid from a cup. We do not care about the contents of the cup only that it may or may not appear to contain alcohol, we don’t care that we have no evidence in regards to the contents of the cup. We will then accuse (Slander?) you by saying that you are promoting underage drinking.
This is my response to this nasty little university (Millersville University, Pennsylvania), and their misguided actions that have led to student, Stacy Snyder, taking them to court. Over an incident regarding on MySpace.
