i'm interacting with a website whereby i must authenticate. i am using
curl, and i noticed that i (and other users, eep) am able to see the
contents of the cookies by running "ps" or "w". only some os's actually
support changing the name of the currently running program. there is
some weirdness, for example on openbsd where you can actually change
the name of the currently running program with no effect. but if you
fork, the children will have the "new" name. linux doesn't care.
solaris, as i recall, is iffy. but what else is new.

anyways, it would be nice to have a --private option or something to
occlude the ps line.

thanks
alex
