Can the password be hidden on the process line when running JBoss ON CLI via a Cron job

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • Running a cron job that periodically executes "rhq-cli.sh -u username -p password_clear_text -s server JON_cli_script". Unfortunately ps displays the password for anyone to see. How can this be run from cron so that the password is not revealed?

Environment

  • Red Hat JBoss Operations Network (ON) 3.3
