I am trying to write a macro with Tera Term to perform Admin functions that can be started by a Scheduler.
In Windows XP(Home) Tera Term freezes and seems to grab almost all of the processor.

Does any one know of a telnet program that can have a script run automatically and then close when finished ?

Probably a silly question, but do you mean a free telnet terminal that can do this? I don't know of one.

ZOC can be started with the /S parameter to call a REXX script on startup and then the script can shut down the application. To do this (ZOC 3.x) Simply create a windows batchfile, we'll say TWGSAdminRun.Cmd, and have it invoke ZOC something like this:

@echo off
(path)\ZOC.EXE /U /TELNET:(server):2003 /S:(script)
exit

The script should end with
CALL ZocEndZoc
EXIT

ZOC 4.x may be a little different.

In win2k, scripts (macros) for tera term don't work unless you keep manually changing focus between the script window and tera term. I assume this is the same problem you're having with winxp. There is no workaround.
