That isn't true. If you make a ps, you will see something like "mysql
-p x xxxxxxxx ................".
As I said before, you can use something like:
"mysql -uUser --password=`cat password_file` db"
FYI,
Nuno is correct you cannot see the password in the 'ps' and my scripts
is just an example you can modify it for more security like putting it a
config file or much better if you can use perl. Don't forget the user
privileges only.
Hm... May be it's OS (or MySQL version) depending stuff but following shows me
you're wrong.

FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE
