it can work, because of shell expansion, expressions, redirects and standard outputs and inputs

try

Code:

{ echo "get /index.html\r\n"; sleep 1; } | telnet xbianip 8080

@mk01, ok I understand the basics. But it will not work on XBian without installing something extras. That leads me to the conclusion this solution cant be the actual solution to what I wanted: have Transmission (installed on the RPi) update the XBMC (installed on the same RPi) library after a download, by running a script, since Transmission has a feature that allows you to point it to a script it will run after each finished download.

reason:
your solution requires Telnet, this command is not available on the RPi. Since I would need to install Telnet, I could simply install curl and be done with it, right?

I was actually just looking for a solution to get this working without installing anything extra... and I think the wget solution is the way to do it since it works via SSH after I login in the RPi! It only does not work when the script is executed via Transmission
