Aside from the security/telnet issues, here's my take:
1) You don't need to cd to /tmp to copy a file out of it.
2) You don't verify the existence of the file before copying it.
3) You don't log what happens if the file doesn't exist.
4) I don't see anything to do the appending you mentioned in the first
email that you wanted done.
As others have already pointed out, this can be done with a simple
bash script, even if you do use telnet. I'd suggest getting a good
bash reference and learning it, or perl for a more robust interface.
