I think it would take more than a simple pipe to perform the same task as 
VM:Operator but it may be possible to perform the functions that are 
essential to you with own code.

First, you would need to run some sort of shell in operator (could be PIPE 
or PROP based) and you would have to decide how you want yo make the 
console output available.

I have certainly written pipe based shadow operators (in our case - for 
the purpose of driving external automation) where console lines are 
displayed and commands fed back in. 

Really - if you want this level of sophistication - it all depends on what 
sort of shell you are running in operator and how you plan to communicate 
with it. the rest is easy.
