Hi Dan,

try to use *expect* tool, that is what I use...

Steps:
1: run once ktutil (under expect, which will save terminal actions)
2: call it in batch, like this (this is example of creating keytab, you 
have to adopt script -- do no use it blindly):
---8<------
   cat << EOEXPECT > /tmp/create-${TABLE}.keytab.exp
set force_conservative 0  ;# set to 1 to force conservative mode even if 
script wasn't run conservatively originally
if {\$force_conservative} {
   set send_slow {1 .1}
   proc send {ignore arg} {
   sleep .1
   exp_send -s -- \$arg
   }
}

set timeout -1
spawn \$env(SHELL)
match_max 100000
expect " "
send -- "ktutil"
expect -exact "ktutil"
send -- "\r"
expect -exact "ktutil: "
send -- "addent -password -p ${1} -k 1 -e aes256-cts-hmac-sha1-96"
expect -exact "addent -password -p ${1} -k 1 -e aes256-cts-hmac-sha1-96"
send -- "\r"
...
expect eof
EOEXPECT

# Create keytab
expect -f /tmp/create-${TABLE}.keytab.exp
---8<------
