gistfile1.txt

1. install telnet on your computer
2. install expect on your comptuer
3. create the a file withthe code of turnOnTV.sh
4. change permissions on that file (chmod 500 turnOnTV.sh)
5. create eventually a cron job to run this script.(50 5 * * * expect ~/scripts/turnOnTV.sh)




You need to set permission to file be read by the owner (400) and allow it execution by the owner (100).
100 + 400 = 500
chmod 500 filename.sh; ./filename.sh
