How does some one call a procedure from a global rule?

Hello,

I am trying to make a global rule for my ssh session such that if it ever finds the following:

...

(blank lines)

...

hit enter to continue, session has ended

...

(some more blank lines)

...

(ends with a blank line)

which occurs after a vty time out from a cisco ios device after being idle for a set amount of time.... I just want it to hit enter automatically so it finds the prompt again...

I found that I can create a rule in the global settings that will grep for this and call a procedure of my choice.... which is fine... in a round about way, to send a "\r" I'll just make a procedure do that, and thats it...

but, it doesnt seem to have the nice "..." button to locate a procedure... so I dont know how should I specify the path to the procedure that I want? Is it as simple as figuring the path call and inserting it in there?

thanks

There is no help for building the name of the proc and arguments in that place - but the syntax is exactly same. What you can do is build the call statement in your testcase and the copy paste the text in the global rules page.

ok, yea, I was being lazy I suppose... maybe this is a good request for a feature in the future? Seems like it should be in there too, since its supported in other places.

thanks again as always, appreciate it
