Comment (by toruser23):

 Since this hasn't been going anywhere fast for ages I at least have a way
 to bring back this functionally in the *nix realm:

 {{{
 #!div style="font-size: 80%"
 Code highlighting:
   {{{#!bash
 #!/bin/bash

 if [ -z "$(command -v xmessage)" ]; then
         echo "Error: Can't find xmessage"
         exit 1
 fi

 if [ -z "$(command -v hexdump)" ]; then
         xmsg_responce="$(xmessage -print "Error: Can't find hexdump")"
         echo "Error: Can't find hexdump"
         exit 1
 fi

 cookie_file="./tor-browser_en-US/Data/Tor/control_auth_cookie"

 if [ -r "$cookie_file" ]; then
         auth_cookie=$(hexdump -e '32/1 "%02x""\n"' $cookie_file)
 else
         xmsg_responce="$(xmessage -print "Error: Can't find cookie file")"
         echo "Error: Can't find cookie file"
         exit 1
 fi


 /usr/bin/expect &>/dev/null << EOF

 expect -exact "Trying 127.0.0.1...\r

 expect -exact "250 OK\r"

 expect eof
 EOF

 exit_code="$?"

 if [ "$exit_code" == "0" ]; then
         xmsg_responce="$(xmessage -print -timeout 5 "Using new tor
 circut")"
         echo "Using new circut"
 else
         xmsg_responce="$(xmessage -print "Error: expect failed")"
         echo "Error: expect failed"
 fi
   }}}
 }}}
