Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> Re: system passwd viewable via ps -ef
Space padding does not always work on all systems.
We have settled on making a long directory name an linking
sqlplus to the oralce home/bin.
Then we make a synonym to launch sqlplus or loader or what ever.
example of ecmsql
the \ is line continueation so my mailer will not complain about a long line.
ecmsql is an alias for \
/export/home/dscapps/dsceng/group/bin\ /a_really_long_directory_name/sqlplus $ecmpw
Contents of the long directory
browser20m -> /opt/developer2000_v1/bin/browser20m f45desm -> /opt/developer2000_v1/bin/f45desm sqlldr -> /opt/oracle716/bin/sqlldr sqlplus -> /opt/oracle716/bin/sqlplus

: What you can do is to pad out the command line with lots of spaces
: before the username / password so that it goes off the end of the screen
: and you can't see it when you do a ps -ef.
: For example :
: sqlplus system/password
: hope that helps
