On HP-UX and Solaris, the ps -ef utility creates a process listing that includes the system password.
Note: | On IBM AIX, the Essbase Server system password is hidden automatically. |
To hide the Essbase Server system password:
Create a shell script, named essbase.secure, that contains these commands:
#!/bin/sh PASS=$1 ESSBASE -b -secure << EOF & ${PASS} EOF
To launch the Agent, use this command:
essbase.secure password
To have the script to return to a command prompt without manually entering a carriage return or to imbed the script within a larger script, execute the script with this command:
essbase.secure &
(Optional) To redirect the standard output to a file named nohup.out, which is useful when running the script in a nonactive terminal session, use this command:
nohup essbase.secure &
