Generate random numbers in script

i want to generate a random number through a script, and even if anyone reads the script, they wont be able to figure out what the random number is. only the person who setup the script would know it.

something like this could work: random

the full thread is here:

https://www.unix.com/shell-programmin...andomly-2.html

if anyone can modify the code to spit out a precise number only I (the script author) would know and no one else, even those who try to read the script.
