Check the status of a remote PC using telnet

Question

How can I check the status of a remote PC using telnet from a python script?

Answer 1

If it has to be telnet, you can use the built-in telnetlib:

from socketlib import timeout
from telnetlib import Telnet

try:
    Telnet("example.com", 23, 5)  # Timeout duration is 5 seconds
    print("Connected")
except timeout:
    print("Timed out")
