Yes I work with APC PDU. ;)

Ok, so i tried with function made to that : 'login'. Here is my code :


###################Start of code

require 'net/telnet'

class Host

  def initialize(host_ip, apc_ip, slot_number)
    @host_ip = host_ip
    @apc_ip = apc_ip
    @slot_number = slot_number
  end

  def reboot
    telnet_session = Net::Telnet.new('Host' => @apc_ip, 'Output_log' => 
'my_log.txt')
    telnet_session.login('LoginPrompt'    => 'User Name',
                         'PasswordPrompt' => 'Password',
                         'Name'           => 'cortdav',
                         'Password'       => 'cortdav')


  end

end



Dione = Host.new("3.249.13.36", "3.249.13.24", 2)

Dione.reboot

###################End of code

I obtained in the log :
<<
Trying 3.249.13.24...
Connected to 3.249.13.24.


User Name :
>>
So, 'User Name' is what I wait for. But it crashes.
It works if I write :

    telnet_session.login('LoginPrompt'    => '',
                         'PasswordPrompt' => '',
                         'Name'           => 'cortdav',
                         'Password'       => 'cortdav')

But the day I'll need to wait for an expression, I will have the same 
problem, so I need to find the solution now. Reading and Reading the 
docs, and I don't find the problem...
