I have been tasked to write a script to run SQL. I don't want a password field to be shown in the script. Does someone have run into this and have a better idea? For example, I have following line in my script.

Sqlplus dbimpl/password @SQLscript.sql

Also, from command line we go through following steps to shutdown database, how do I code these steps in the script?

$svrmgrl
SVRMGRL>connect internal
SVRMGRL>shutdown

Thanks in advance,
David
