Hi,

I advise against using telnet, it is not practical to automate deployments.


Using ssh instead of telnet would be the first step I would recommend you. A quick search in Google tells me that there are ssh servers implementations for AS400.

In a second step, to automate WebSphere deployments, the best is to use the JMX APIs of WebSphere. 

Smartfrog is a tool that you might want to consider to orchestrate your deployments. Steve Loughran can tell you more about it.



Regards,

Antoine
