Actually, this would still display the password in the output of "ps -ef" because the "$syspw" environment variable is resolved before handing it to sqlplus.

Try "sqlplus dbimpl/$syspw" and then a "ps -ef"...

I have been tasked to write a script to run SQL. I don't want a password field to be shown in the script. Does someone have run into this and have a

better idea? For example, I have following line in my script. Sqlplus dbimpl/password @SQLscript.sql

Also, from command line we go through following steps to shutdown database, how do I code these steps in the script? $svrmgrl
SVRMGRL>connect internal
SVRMGRL>shutdown
