Hiding username/password from ps

Hi,

We're running SQL*Plus and SQL*Forms from Tcl-Tk scripts on Solaris 2.4 and we've noticed that if you put the username and password on the command line they show up to anyone who does "ps -ef".

Has anyone discovered a way round this ? It looks like sqlplus might take the password on the standard input, but what about runform ?

Looking forward to the answer....

Andy
