How about creating a backup user with CONNECT and SYSOPER privileges?

How many DB's are on the machine. I as well use this command for backups,
but I have the oracle_sid set so I do no need to use the entire connect
string. I just say, "connect internal" and it will connect allowing me to
do startups and shutdowns. The other way around the issue is to use NT
security(heheh) to block all users from these files except for
administrators. Hmmmm.....I'll give it a little more though, I am sure
someone here will solve it before me. Have a good one

Hi Folks,
I have some SQL scripts which I use to Shutdown and Startup DBs. The SQL
scripts are called from OS batch files and run using AT schedule service.
Problem, or so I perceive it as being, is that I use SYSTEM user as part of
script to connect to DB to Startup/Shutdown and I have the password for same
(horror of horrors???) in the SQL script. So I'm wondering how othger folks
manage the same process. Do you use the OS file protection to protect the
SQL file from prying eyes or perhaps a particular Oracle account stripped of
unecessary privs etc to include in script OR is there a antoher more secure
way around this issue that I just have not realised?.
