Hi:
We have an ORACLE 7.2 database on Dynix/ptx 4.1.2. I wanted
to hide the username and password from "ps" command.
I called ORACLE about hiding password from the ps command.
I was given a program called hide.c. This program works great if
I do just ps. However, If I do "ps -ef" (or whatever your implementation's
way of showing ps with arguments is)and the password is still visible.
Is there a way of doing this? I would ideally like the following:
If my command is
sqlplus username/password _at_command arguments
I want ps (or ps -ef) to show
sqlplus _at_command arguments
