I wasn't aware of wmic, but now that I tried running it, it appears to be one of those programs, like netsh and ftp, that behave badly when run outside an actual console window. In the case of netsh and ftp there are easy workarounds but wmic seems to hang no matter what I do. AFAIK, it doesn't work with SSH servers either, including openSSH under cygwin. I wonder how it works under telnet but it'll be difficult to find out because I don't have the MS telnet source code.
