Hi,
is there a way to start the data guard observer in the background, without showing the db credentials in the process list?
The usually recommended way is to start it with a command similar to this:
nohup dgmgrl sys/XXX@dgtest "start observer" &
A simple ps sadly shows the sys password:
oracle@rac-prod1:~$ ps -ef | grep dgmgrl
oracle 10225 9549 0 13:31:37 pts/1 0:00 grep dgmgrl
oracle 10072 9549 0 13:31:10 pts/1 0:00 dgmgrl sys/XXX@dgtest start observer
How can i prevent this? How do you start & run your observer?
Regards
Thomas
