Another way to emulate terminal is to use detached sessions of screen
utility. It may look like

a@...alhost:~/desktop$ screen -d -m /usr/sbin/john t/passwd
a@...alhost:~/desktop$ screen -list
There is a screen on:
	12627..localhost	(06.07.2011 01:18:22)	(Detached)
1 Socket in /var/run/screen/S-a.

a@...alhost:~/desktop$ screen -r 12627..localhost -p 0 -X stuff '
> '
a@...alhost:~/desktop$ screen -r 12627..localhost -p 0 -X hardcopy /home/a/desktop/h
a@...alhost:~/desktop$ cat h
Loaded 2 password hashes with no different salts (LM DES [32/32 BS])
guesses: 0  time: 0:00:00:23 (3)  c/s: 449590  trying: TYE516 - TYE560
...


It is not the best screen usage. However i guess that even with the best
commands this method needs to call screen for every status update.

And i do not know whether it works on Windows or not.
