You can create a password file and call that password file in the export
script. No body can see the password by ps command .

Subject: Automate Export using exp without exposing system password
Is there a way of automating the exp command without hard coding the
system password? I am using 10gR2 on Linux RHEL4 and through trial and
error have not found a way to do this without hard coding the system
password in a PAR file or exposing the password to anyone able to
execute a simple ps command.
Cheers,
Stephen
