Hello, I have a couple of questions regarding Trigger.

1. Is there any way i can use trigger to do a double-login (login in login, or telnet in telnet) into 2 successive devices?

2. I've read the documentation but i didn't manage to find any way for Twister to stop using SSH when making the connections? I've been getting some SSH errors on the Cisco because of it.

These are the issues I've been facing.

I'd like to say that overall I really enjoy Trigger and it's really more easy to use and modify that just grinding telnetlib.

Hello Andrei and welcome to the Trigger community! Please pardon my delayed response due to the holiday weekend. 

I'll reply to your questions inline below...

I don't see why there isn't, although this has never been a use case. Trigger generally performs remote execution in pseudo-terminal (pty) sessions. What is your use case? I would love to understand it better! 

2. I've read the documentation but i didn't manage to find any way for Twister to stop using SSH when making the connections? I've been getting some SSH errors on the Cisco because of it.

Are you trying to use telnet? It defaults to SSH, and there is a way to tell it not to, although this could obviously be better documented. 

These are the issues I've been facing.

I'd like to say that overall I really enjoy Trigger and it's really more easy to use and modify that just grinding telnetlib.

Thanks for your feedback! Please consider joining us in IRC @ #trigger on irc.freenode.net.

I look forward to hearing back from you.

jathan.
