Unix: Grep on console output

Question

This is my first question on stackoverflow! I want to have a unix script that will run grep on the console output. Here is what my script does: 1. Telnet into a remote server (I have done this part successfully) 2. On successful login, the remote server displays outputs information on the console. I need to run grep on that console output (need help with this)

So, I need a script to run grep on the output appearing on the console.

Any thoughts??

Thanks, Puneet

Use SSH instead. It's more secure and far easier to script.

ssh remoteusername@remotehost:/path/to/remote/script | grep 'something'

with appropriate key setup, it won't even prompt you for a password.
