Only way is to try the command and see. There aren't that many commands that would be useful as coprocesses. I regularly use adb, bc, ftp, and telnet. These are commands that were intended to be used interactively... a strong clue that they are candidates for a coprocess.

This is probably a simple one for the wise.
I have just started using a coprocess (first time) in order to facilitate telnet'ing from inside a shell script. It's working, but when I run a remote command I need to get the output into a local variable, but alas my kung-fu is weak.

adb(1) User Commands adb(1)
NAME
adb - general-purpose debugger
SYNOPSIS
adb [-kw] [-I dir] [-P prompt] [-V mode] [ object [ core]]
DESCRIPTION
The adb utility is an interactive, general-purpose debugger. It can be used to examine files and provides a controlled environment for the
execution of programs.
The adb utility is now implemented as a link to the mdb(1) utility in Solaris 9. mdb(1) is a low-level debugging utility that can be used
to examine user processes as well as the live operating system or operating system crash dumps. The new mdb(1) utility provides complete
backwards compatibility with the existing syntax and features of adb, including support for processing adb macro files. The Solaris Modular
Debugger Guide and mdb(1) man page describes the features of mdb, including its adb compatibility mode. This mode will be activated by
default when the adb link is executed.
