@chetan.c: When you say visible, do you mean in ps output or defined in the script?
You can invoke sqlplus without logging in but calling a .sql-commandfile and use the SQL*Plus connect command to log in to your database. This way username and password do not show up in ps and are not visible in your main script.
Calling script:
Code:
...
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/sqlplus -s /nolog @/path/to/your/commandfile.sql $PARAM_PATH
...

commandfile.sql:
Code:
connect username/password
set heading off feedback off trimspool on 
set pagesize 0
set linesize 9999
spool &1/param_name.txt;
Select sysdate from dual;
spool off;
exit

Another way to hide login-information from ps-output is to use coprocesses (ksh or bash >= 4.0) or pipes. Here the implementation is a bit more tricky and depends on the shell you use.

SHUNIT2(1)																SHUNIT2(1)

NAME
shunit2 - A unit test framework for shell scripts SYNOPSIS
shunit2 unitfile DESCRIPTION
shUnit2 is a xUnit unit test framework for Bourne based shell scripts, and it is designed to work in a similar manner to JUnit, PyUnit, etc.. If you have ever had the desire to write a unit test for a shell script, shUnit2 can do the job. You can either run shunit2 directly from the commandline and specify the unit file or directly source the shunit2 executable. If you directly execute shunit2 and don't specify a unitfile shunit2 assumes a empty testfile and will return without an error message. EXAMPLE
Simple script to test if 1 equals 1 #! /bin/sh testEquality() { assertEquals 1 1 } # load shunit2 . shunit2 Execute shUnit2 unit tests directly from the commandline shunit2 /path/to/unit/file OPTIONS
shunit2 does not support any commandline options at all. You can either source shunit2 to execute your unit tests or directly run shunit2 as a commandline script. SEE ALSO
For more information see http://code.google.com/p/shunit2/ or have a look at the installed documentation in /usr/share/doc/shunit2/ AUTHOR
shunit2 was written by Kate Ward <kate.ward@forestent.com>. This manpage was written by Ulrich Dangel <mru@spamt.net>. 2.1.6 03/25/2012 SHUNIT2(1)
