I am having a similar problem. I need to be able to automagically log
console sessions from any one of 17 pm3's. I currently have a pm2
attached to the console on several of the pm3's (via null modem). This
part works great!

What I am having trouble with is loging the console output without
physically sitting there and running a telnet. I have tried variations of
expect scripts, but that involves a plain text password sitting on our
unix system.

Anyone tried this before/have any suggestions?
