Obviously, it's win32 specific.  But I can't imagine it would be impossible
to create a similar tty piped window applet on Unix, if someone is up to
the challenge.

Maybe reimplemented as an irssi ncurses window?

I was thinking something along these lines earlier trying various ssh
Perl scripts but I do not know how to handle detecting the local
console versus someone who is ssh'ed in restarting  the server (at any
rate I have never gotten the Enter Passphrase prompt when using
service httpd start) -- bottom line is that some human will have to
enter the passphrase manually =(
