Redirecting NetCI Input and Output 

NetCI allows you to easily redirect input and output instead of using
$STDIN and $STDLIST. You redirect input through script files and output
through log files.  Figure 7-3 shows NetCI installed on node K with input
and output passing through a virtual terminal configured on the remote
nodes.  Commands are transmitted over network connections through VT and
are executed on the remote nodes.  This figure shows that the script file
contains the input, while the log file contains the output.

Scripting and logging may be used separately or simultaneously.  When you
use the scripting and logging operational modes, NetCI redirects the
input and output.

The input is redirected from the keyboard to the script file and the
output is redirected from the terminal screen to the log file.  The
different modes of operation are:

 *  Scripting only (input from script file and output to screen)

 *  Logging only (input from keyboard and output to log file and screen)

 *  Scripting and logging (input from script file and output to log file
    and not to screen)

 *  No scripting and logging.  (interactive session where input is from
    keyboard and output is to screen)
