title: Send stdin to a process from windows command prompt
body: <p>In Windows I have console programs that run in the background with the console hidden. Is there anyway to direct input to the programs console? I want to be able to do something like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>echo Y| *the_running_process_here*
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>to send Y to the process' stdin.</p>
