Something like this works for me. Customize it to your device.  
Do it by hand once to see what exact prompts you need to expect.

#!/usr/local/bin/expect

spawn telnet your_nas
expect Username:
send "foo\n"
expect Password:
send "bar\n"
expect #
send "some command\n"
expect #
send "exit\n"
interact

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.
