I would be very careful when useing the username/password combination in
scripts.
Our company prohibits the "hardcoding" of such things on the basis of
security.
If the script file was read by someone who it was not intended for, that
person(s) now
have access to your database! I would suggest letting UNIX authenticate
the user giving you the ability to eliminate the username/password from
all scripts using just "/" instead. Now, you still have the problem you
suggested, but Roberts solution to that
would still work.
