Pass argument into telnet in Bash

Question

How do you pass arguments in te.net using bash. When I tried to push I keep getting an error.

Input

echo "status" | telnet localhost 5555 > /tmp/text.txt

Output

Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.

I was expecting the output to redirected to a file for parsing however I am recieving an error.

Answer 1

Te.net can't do what you are trying to do. See full explanation in this posting .

Answer 2

Thank you for the response. I was able to get the output however I had to add quit directive to get out of nc from bash. Here is my statement

echo "status" | nc -w 2 localhost 5555 > /tmp/test.txt
