dsjob parm values

Post by Ultramundane »

The parameters that are specified for dsjob can be read using ps -ef prior to the command shifting the arguments. They can be had by running a loop looking for passwords.

Please allow dsjob to read the parameters directly from a file containing the parameters. Also allow for a section seperator to locate the entries for a specified environment. For instance, if I say F, all parameters in the F section should be read. If this option already exists, please point me in that direction.

Thanks

Hmm, I just saw that this was already requested as an enhancement. That's good because it can be a security risk.

Just so that something is unique, allow for parameters to be read out of standard input.
