UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Hello all ,
I looked up this site for solutions to hide login info from ps -ef | grep like using a seperate file and store the password in that especially for oracle sqlplus scripts.

I just got this thought , But dont know how to implement this in UNIX.

Is there a way to revoke access from "ps" command so that the user may not be even able to use ps command.



This is a non oracle unix user.
How would I do this in HP UX ?

Thanx

Please anyone any answers.
Thanx

Please follow forum rules and do not bump up posts.

Code:

sqlplus<<!
user/pass
<sql_statement>;
@<script_name>
... 
whatever
!

Sorry I am new to this forum. What does bump up posts mean ?

BTW Radoulov Thanx for your response. But my questions was

""

You can just go into /bin and adjust the permissions for the ps utility.

Thanx for you response piper28.

But how to revoke execute from /bin/ps only from "a" specific user ?

Thats all I have been asking for. Say user TESTUSER should not be able to use ps command

$ls -lrt ps
-r-xr-xr-x 1 bin sys 94468 May 30 2005 ps
