You could also use a parameter file... Look at the utilities manual under the command line reference... The example from Oracle is...
PARFILE specifies the name of a file that contains commonly used command-line parameters. For example, the command line could read:
sqlldr parfile=example.par
The parameter file could have the following contents:
userid=scott/tiger
control=example.ctl
errors=9999
log=example.log

Subject: RE: Concealing SQL Loader password from ps -ef
The << operator creates a set of commands to be executed until a particular
label as part of the calling command and only the calling command is
displayed on ps -ef. This should work the same for sqlloader as it does for
sqlplus or ftp or su or whatever else. Just put the username/password on
the inside of the << operator and you should be golden.
HTH,
Bambi.

sqlplus << EOF
system/incredibly_secret_password
select * from dual;
exit
EOF

When running Sql Loader from a Unix script is there a way to code it so that
the password will not be displayed when someone does ps -ef?
I know how to do it for sqlplus, exp and imp but not sql loader.
TIA,
Jay Miller
