How to hide RMAN command line args from "ps -ef" command?

user130038Jan 7 2014 — edited Feb 5 2014

Hi there

This is not RMAN question per say but it is related to my RMAN script. Part of this RMAN script is below:

           rman target / catalog ${RMANID}/${RMANPW}@${RMANSID} log=${TMPFILE} << EOF

While the script is running, if I issue "ps -ef | grep rman" command (from my own user id or as 'oracle' user), I see following:

          oracle   32522 32492 36 15:32 pts/100:00:01 rman target / catalog rman/rman2013@rmancat log=/tmp/oratmp32492

Is there a way to hide the values of the variables (Id, Pwd, SID) from the "ps -ef" command?

If not, any other an alternates?

Best regards
