Patternless prompt detection of command completion

Abstract:

Methods are provided in which a computer device provides, to a network device, an editing probe instruction for a cursor movement on a command line interface for interfacing with the network device. In these methods, the computer device obtains, from the network device, data output and determines whether the network device completed a command output based on whether the data output indicates the cursor movement on the command line interface.
