Here are my two cents worth:

When using sqlplus it is a simple way to hide your password from the ps command.

sqlplus <<-EOF
system/manager
select * from dual;
_at_test
exit
EOF The ps command will display only the sqlplus command and not what is to be executed in sqlplus.
Try it.
Seeing is believing
