Is there any way of just unlocking accounts without opening the console with geth?

I'm writing some scripts to automate cluster generation and I wish I could just call geth to unlocking some accounts without starting another instance or attaching to an existing one.

##Edit If I run something like:

geth --genesis "$GENESIS_FILE" --datadir "$DATA_DIR" --networkid "$NETWORK_ID" \
     --password <(echo -n $ACCOUNT_PASSWD) --unlock "$UNLOCK_INDEXES" \
     --exec '""' attach > /dev/null

after the node startup, the accounts are not unlocked.

The only way I've managed to get accounts unlocked was to unlock them when running geth in order to start the node.
