put your userid and password and all other parameters in parfile and run. exp parfile=abc.parfile
It will hide your password on unix level. your password file should be readable by you only...

1. Changet the script to

print "system/password" | exp full=y ...

so no-one can see it with a 'ps'

b) chmod 700 daily_exp.sh

so no-one except the (presumably) oracle account can see the script
