node-rlogin

An rlogin client for node.js.

Certain aspects of the protocol aren't readily doable with node's net.Socket, but in its current state this module does what I need it to do. :|

Needs some work and tidying up.

Has some untested features which I might document someday. There are some relevant comments in index.js.

Installation

npm install rlogin

Example

var RLogin = require('rlogin');

// All of these options are required
var rlogin = new RLogin(
    {   'clientUsername' : "myPassword",
        'serverUsername' : "myUsername",
        'host' : "my.stupid.rlogin.server.com",
        'port' : 513,
        'terminalType' : "tty",
        'terminalSpeed' : 9600
    }
);

// If there was an error ...
rlogin.on(
    "error",
    function(err) {
        console.log(err);
    }
);

// If we connected or failed to connect ...
rlogin.on(
    "connect",
    /*  The 'connect' event handler will be supplied with one argument,
        a boolean indicating whether or not the connection was established. */
    function(state) {
        if(state) {
            console.log("Connected.");
            // Send a String or Buffer to the server.
            rlogin.send("Hi guise, here I am on this stupid rlogin server.");
            // That was fun.  Let's hang up now.
            rlogin.disconnect();
        } else {
            console.log("Failed to connect.");
        }
    }
);

// If we've been disconnected ...
rlogin.on(
    "disconnect",
    function() {
        console.log("Disconnected.");
    }
);

// If data (a Buffer) has been received from the server ...
rlogin.on(
    "data",
    function(data) {
        console.log(data.toString());
    }
);

// Now that the events will be handled properly, we can connect ...
rlogin.connect();
