I've got a series of shell scripts that I use to automate repetitive
database tasks, like changing from small to large rollback segments for
batch processing, that require SQL statements to be executed as the sys or
system user. To do this without user-intervention I'm forced to put the
passwords in the script in plain text.
I don't like this. The servers don't normally host interactive logins, but
it's a problem nevertheless.
What techniques are other admins using to keep passwords out of shell
scripts?
