I have an account on a shared web host which allows me to work on the server via SSH. As I have some problems installing Magento using the web installer I switched to the commandline installation. The command to install looks something like this:
php -f install.php -- \
...
--db_host "dbhost" \
--db_name "dbname" \
--db_user "username" \
--db_pass "password" \
...
--admin_username "username" \
--admin_password "password" \
...
While the command is running (and its running for a few minutes), of course everybody else on that server can see the parameters (and passwords) by inspecting running processes (with ps aux
for example). I was just wondering if its possible to hide that data in some way (e.g. with some kind of wrapper scripts/programs)?
