Hi folks
I have here a CentOS box where i need to setup cronjob (with session to remote Oracle instance). On the remote DB i have no access, expect limited user.
How to avoid putting passwords in shell scripts?
The solution doesn't need to be perfect, only better than plain text passwords in scripts. Mostly remote host only support password authentication (no certificates and so on).
cheers Sven
