How would you read the admin password then?

If you did just "nohup cherokee-admin", you could read it from nohup.out 
whenever you want to login.

Besides that, I think it's fairly safe for most of the cases: The password 
length and randomness are reasonable, by default it binds only to localhost, 
and it requires Digest authentication to login.

(Of course, it'd safer to launch it under demand. - FTR)
