Don't do it - people who advocate secure programming will not like
this - the password will be there for all to see in a ps/top listing.
You should read the password from a configuration file. Your program
should also refuse to run if the config file has too open permissions
(like fetchmail).
If you really want the password on command line, you should try to
hide it, like lynx does (check its -auth and -pauth commandline
options). This is done via setproctitle(3).
