How to keep password out of the log?

If a unix script is called from an execute command activity, is there any way to not display the password in the director log?
My script is
sh /data/basel2dev/integration/scripts/displaysysdate.sh #Integration.$PrmDBIntgUser# "File Validation Script" "E004" "Unmatched file count with trailer record" "testfile" #Integration.$PrmDBIntgPwd# #Integration.$PrmDBIntgSchema#
the value of #Integration.$PrmDBIntgPwd# should not be displayed as clear text in the director log

You'd have to write your own routine, as noted in the linked post, that did not log that information. Note, however, that since you are passing the password to the script on the command line, it will still be visible to anything looking at the running process.

Hi,
Is the content of the command line (except passwords) mandatory in the log?
If not, you can use the /NOLOG/ option in the EC activity.

Ah yes, did this actually get documented anywhere? It goes at the beginning of the Parameter property according to the 3 posts here that mention that little secret.

The first time I saw it was on dsxchange
Then I found it in a pdf, but I can't recall its name (one about job sequence).
You can find more info on
IBM' website
