I'm not sure if this helps for your use-case, but my "carml"
command-line tool can read commands from a pipe and execute them all. A
simple example:

   echo "GETINFO process/user" > foo
   echo "GETINFO process/pid" >> foo
   cat foo | carml cmd -

So, this will produce stdout like this:

   process/user=debian-tor
   process/pid=1234

(Of course, you can make the above shorter/different in various ways,
and GETINFO accepts multiple keys already, but "illstrative purposes"
etc...)
