There are many ways, here is one right out of Net::Telnet manual:

           use Net::Telnet ();
           $t = new Net::Telnet (Timeout => 10,
                                 Prompt => '/bash\$ $/');
           $t->open("sparky");
           $t->login($username, $passwd);
           @lines = $t->cmd("/usr/bin/who");
           print @lines;

perldoc Net::Telnet for more info, if you don't have it installed, install it.

Hi all, howzit going ?
 
I'm not to good at scripting so I really need help on this:
I have a USR NAS device that I need to telnet every 24 hrs and issue a command to 
it, how could I write a script that I could run as a cron job that would automatically 
login and issue the commands and then log out again ?
Thanks.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
