Yes, I would support this too. For simplicity is is important to have a command line flag, e.g. -u myuser -p mypass, but the app must modify the args line so that the password is not visible from ps output. Typically what you do in production is source a script in the home dir that sets the appropriate environment variables then in your scripts you just refer to $USERNAME and $PASSWORD. RG
