[CALUG] Encrypting Passwords for Shell Scripts

[James Ewing Cottrell III]

Best Practice is to put the password in another separate file and read 
that like so:

read PASSWORD < password

or, less artistically,

PASSWORD=$(cat password)

or even

source password

where password contains one line:

PASSWORD=swordfish
