I have been using PLINK (putty's lesser known sibling) scripts for some of our smaller customers to execute information gathering before a project in case of "excellent" documentation. I can usually whip up a script in a few minutes to get sh ru, sh ver and sh diag from 20 devices. Also been using it for a couple of small customers for config backup from webservers, switches, routers, firewalls and anything else with a telnet/ssh login.

Sometimes I want to access my customer network and want to extract some verification output "show commands" from a large number of devices. What kind of scripting solutions you guys are using this case. Appreciate the feedback, Abdullah
