Windows has WSH, the windows scripting host that can handle scripting  
in several languages with VBBcript and JScript built in.  Any of the  
languages have access to the object WSHShell which has the method  
SendKeys.  You might have to activate the window.  I don't think  
these are recognized by 'do', so you will need to use shell() with  
cscript.  You can probably find examples of the script you need online.

I have seen some tools around.

And you can make an external.

I don't know the situation if the app should not be brought forward.

To simulate sending a control-alt-del, start the task manager.  I  
think you can send the rest to a process.
