If you have a script which requires a password somewhere as input and you don't want to have that password displayed on the screen, this is how you do it:
# Request for the password of the ORACLE_USER printf "Provide password %s user: " $ORACLE_USER # Save the current settings of the terminal session stty_orig=`stty -g` # Change the terminal session settings so it won't display input anymore stty -echo # Read the input from the script operator read ora_secret # Set the terminal back to it's old settings stty $stty_orig
