hiding parts of processes
We have a ksh script that call sqlplus user/password@DB. Obviously, when anyone on the machine does a ps, he can get the user name and password of that oracle user. Is there a way to make it so that the password would be just stars when doing ps? i.e. sqlplus user/****@DB?

No, not as described. When you make the call with the UID and password, as described, it will be readable in the process table.

Hi,
I don't know you're still looking for the answer for this question, if yes consider the below login script:

sqlplus -s /NOLOG user/password@test_sid;

"/NOLOG" option prevents user and password from being shown with "pd -ef"

Cheers!
