Well, if developers have to change something to the code, I'd continue with autoit, since is closer to real enviroment. You are right, autoit work by send parametres to GUI focused, but really I don't think it's something necessary for my purposes as I need only send parameters to a windows cmd console. Do you know if is that possible by piping standard input? I've tried but with no results. What I'd need is open a new windows console get the pid and send messages to it through stdin pipe. But I've been unable to do it so far.
I think that you're thinking about this the wrong way. You're talking about automating a Console program as though it were notepad: by sending keystrokes. Mixed in with that you've got some kind of notion of piping stdin/stdout. If you've got a (non-GUI) program which you usually run in a Console context, it will either take its input from stdin -- in which case, ignore the fact it runs in a console and feed it via subprocess -- or it will take input from some kind of Console-level getch method, in which case you'll have to use something like SendKeys [1] or perhaps WinPexpect [2] Don't know if that helps at all...
