I would like to write a script that will automatically mount a share
using sharity when a user logs in. My platform is IRIX. I've written a
script that works fine from the command line, but it prompts the user to
enter the password there at the command line. If I try to run this
script through the GUI by double-clicking the icon of the script, there
is a problem, since the GUI dialog window does not pop up. The prompt
goes to the console instead of the GUI, and the prompts are just rolling
along with error messages in between. 

I know I could use the -P option in the script, but then I'd have to put
the password in the script (bad security) and make a different script
for each user (tedius).

Is there an "official" solution for this problem?

I discovered an approach for a work-around by accident. If I
double-click the script, then send that process a kill -HUP, then the
GUI dialog pops up and asks for the password! This is a bit awkward, but
I might be able to script something that uses it.
