Not sure what you mean by this. I used 711 on my script and ran it using 3 different logins: it executed successfully all 3 times.

Nevertheless, I agree with you that putting passwords in a script is asking for trouble.

Time constraints and little knowledge of shell scripting (I am teaching myself) leave me with no other option for the time being.
