Ah, that '$' may be the ticket. I'll try that and see if it works. Given that it works, is there any inherent advantage (security-wise or other) of the pipe vs. exec for returning the key passphrase at start up? Also, if it works, I'll comment at the appropriate place in the docs. Thanks, Bill. Best regards, -Tom
