We can use 'stty' to hide the password entry in UNIX command prompt, which is like entering password when you login to the UNIX.
stty:
'stty' sets options for your terminal
Ex :
- stty erase \^h --- set the backspace as erase key
- stty sane
- stty
Example Script:
#!/bin/ksh
echo "Please enter the pwd:"
stty -echo
read pwd
stty echo
if [ "$pwd" == "secret" ]; then
echo "u have access"
else
echo "access denied"
fi
till then....
njoy the simplicity.......
