    Let's say I run a script from a cron job and pass system/[password] in the script...

    If I do a ps -ef|grep system

    It'll show the system password...

    Any ideas (other than "don't do that")?

    sqlplus -s << EOF
    username/password@tns
    .....
    .....
    exit
    EOF

    this wont show username/password in ps
