Add ability to send sequence after connecting

[mithro]

Frequently people don't know to press enter after flterm connects, so they sit there waiting for something to happen.

If we could send an enter after connecting, people would see the prompt.

An expect script would be even better. That would allow us to issue a reboot command.

Example;

while True:
   send('\n')
   If recv('>'):
      Break
   Sleep()

Send('reboot') || Send('serialboot')

Any chance of this being addressed in the firmware?

Installing a patched term program or addon config/script seems like it will cause more confusion than forgetting to press enter.

There is no way this can be addressed in firmware, the firmware gets no notification that a user has connected / disconnected from the console.

This flterm program is installed as part of our environment and is used for make load-firmware and similar commands.
