Shell commands and ps and server logs

Good afternoon all!! I am writing a shell script that will generate a random phrase to be used as a password.

this is the line I use to generate the password
Code:
echo `head -n 10 /dev/urandom | tr -cd "[:alnum:]*+,-/:;<=>?_" | cut -c '1-'$3`

The third input in the command is the length of the password i want to use.

What I do next is login to a Oracle DB and change a user accounts password using what was generated. I would prefer that password nor its generation of it be discover via ps or anything like that. My question is what gets captured by the server in the /proc/PID/ folders or any server logs? Is there a way to work around any of that being captured? Thanks.

NAME
nwborm - Remove a NetWare Bindery Object SYNOPSIS
nwborm [ -h ] [ -S server ] [ -U user name ] [ -P password | -n ] [ -C ] [ -o object name ] [ -t type ] DESCRIPTION
nwborm removes the specified NetWare Bindery Objects. nwborm looks up the file $HOME/.nwclient to find a file server, a user name and possibly a password. See nwclient(5) for more information. Please note that the access permissions of $HOME/.nwclient MUST be 600 for security reasons. OPTIONS
-h -h is used to print out a short help text. -S server server is the name of the server you want to use. -U user user is the user name to use for login. -P password password is the password to use for login. If neither -n nor -P are given, and the user has no open connection to the server, nwborm prompts for a password. -n -n should be given if no password is required for the login. -C By default, passwords are converted to uppercase before they are sent to the server, because most servers require this. You can turn off this conversion by -C. -o object name The name of the object to be deleted. -t object type The type of the object. Object type must be specified as a decimal value. Common values are 1 for user objects, 2 for group objects and 3 for print queues. Other values are allowed, but are usually used for specialized applications. AUTHORS
nwborm was written by Volker Lendecke with the corresponding Caldera utility in mind. See the Changes file of ncpfs for other contributors. nwborm 7/9/1996 NWBORM(8)
