Sure, have a look at
http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/process/1.0.0.0/doc/html/System-Process.html#v :runInteractiveProcess

       rnuInteractiveCommand does would you want
       (in,out,err,pId) <- runInteractiveProcess "cat" ...
       hPutStrLn "test" in
       hClose in
       outContents <- hGetContents out
       print outContents


Note that this will deadlock if either the input or the output is too long; you should forkIO a thread to do either the input or the output.
