Porter,
I am not the orginal guy who created this thread in first place. His intention was not to look into code by some colleages but in our case, it is not the intention.
We use some Oracle monitoring scripts which logs on to oracle database with username/password
We don't want to let everybody see username/password and also don't want to hardcode password in shell script also even though users might have read permissions for script and hence we have used shc.

We don't put locks in our home to challenge that an experieced thief can't break the lock, it is just for normal folks who sometimes could change their mind Smilie.

Any way, thanks for your input.

-------------------------------------------------------
There was some other issues which we have even though make shc was okay.

$ ./shc -r -l "" -f pru.sh
pru.sh.x.c:246:24: sys/ptrace.h: No such file or directory
pru.sh.x.c: In function `untraceable':
pru.sh.x.c:274: error: `PTRACE_ATTACH' undeclared (first use in this function)
pru.sh.x.c:274: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
pru.sh.x.c:274: error: for each function it appears in.)
./shc: Error 0


In order to corrrect this issue, we need to modify shc.c and remove
include <sys/ptrace.h> since ptrace.h does not exists in Solaris 10
and
changed
mine = !ptrace(PTRACE_ATTACH, pid, 0, 0);",
To
mine = !ptrace(10, pid, 0, 0);",

and again make shc

It works okay.

I am writing this here since who knows some body may find this useful and looking for suggestions.

ATF-SH(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 						 ATF-SH(1)

NAME
atf-sh [-s shell] -- interpreter for shell-based test programs SYNOPSIS
atf-sh script DESCRIPTION
atf-sh is an interpreter that runs the test program given in script after loading the atf-sh(3) library. atf-sh is not a real interpreter though: it is just a wrapper around the system-wide shell defined by ATF_SHELL. atf-sh executes the inter- preter, loads the atf-sh(3) library and then runs the script. You must consider atf-sh to be a POSIX shell by default and thus should not use any non-standard extensions. The following options are available: -s shell Specifies the shell to use instead of the value provided by ATF_SHELL. ENVIRONMENT
ATF_LIBEXECDIR Overrides the builtin directory where atf-sh is located. Should not be overridden other than for testing purposes. ATF_PKGDATADIR Overrides the builtin directory where libatf-sh.subr is located. Should not be overridden other than for testing purposes. ATF_SHELL Path to the system shell to be used in the generated scripts. Scripts must not rely on this variable being set to select a specific interpreter. EXAMPLES
Scripts using atf-sh(3) should start with: #! /usr/bin/env atf-sh Alternatively, if you want to explicitly choose a shell interpreter, you cannot rely on env(1) to find atf-sh. Instead, you have to hardcode the path to atf-sh in the script and then use the -s option afterwards as a single parameter: #! /path/to/bin/atf-sh -s/bin/bash ENVIRONMENT
ATF_SHELL Path to the system shell to be used in the generated scripts. SEE ALSO
atf-sh(3) BSD
