Re: system passwd viewable via ps -ef

I create an id/password file called say $HOME/sql/id.sql (readable only by me) that contains id/password.
I define an alias of say S that equals sqlplus @$HOME/id.sql and that's all you see on a ps -ef.
Works fine.

For scripted (batch) sqlplus, we've instuted the following:

   cat $HOME/sql/id.sql $HOME/sql/<scripname.sql> | sqlplus -silent > $HOME/log/sqlplus.out
