Hi,

how do you delete/remove commandline arguments from an application
once it's used them but continues to run where everyone can see it
and, for example, simply run 'top' to see them?

I want to execute applications and pass them the credentials they
need to access a database, but not have that data visible to the
rest of the world via the process list.

Sample code appreciated ;-)

Regards,

Vin
