I dont think grep or any such tools have that capability to change ps listing format.
I ran into something similiar, sometime back. Here are some possible approaches you could try. 1. Blanking out passwords i.e. argv[n] http://groups.google.com/group/comp....7044f4b8840dd6 2. A pstat solution available on HPUX 3. setproctitle() system call available only on BSD'ish systems. 4. And the legendary hide.c from Oracle. (Check for this source code on the net. This solution is fool-proof but no hack-proof). 5. Yet another possible one is: assign the password to an env variable. Once the applications starts, exec your self by reading the values from those env variables. Ofcourse, you would need to clear the env variables. 6. Or you could pick up the setproctitle implementation for linux. I dont have the link. But here is the documentation header to that file Code:
