I'm new to UNIX, and I want to develop some cron scripts that I
can have log into the database and do some chores for me. I can
do that trick just fine, but I'm not certain I'm handling the
account name and password in the most secure manner possible.
If you've done similar stuff in your shop, can you share with us
how you handle the account name and password, together with any
security issues. Thanks!!
