README for apc-getcnf --------------------- intro ----- apc-getcnf is a utility to get the configuration from an APC Uninterruptable Power Supply. prerequisites ------------- - perl version 5 - Expect.pm - shc - Francisco Rosales' (frosal@fi.upm.es) Generic Script Compiler (Here, shc is used to hide the passwords in an executable.) ftp://ftp.fi.upm.es/pub/facultad/departamentos/datsi/frosal/shc-3.0.tgz note ---- While the script is running, shc *doesn't* hide the shell script content really well under operating systems where users can view a process' entire argument list and environment, such as AIX, Linux, etc. The idea is that it's better to obscure the passwords using this method than doing nothing at all (ie. leaving clear-text passwords in the shell script itself). -- $Id: README,v 1.1 2005/02/15 19:22:11 dplonka Exp $ Dave Plonka
