hide & Blanks-hide password

Comment:
hide.c was released on 1992 by Oracle Corp.. hide.c is used to hide the password from displaying in the outout when ps comman runs.
hide is fine with many kinds of programs, but it failed to run against java. It generated errors all the time.
In order to hide the password on the java command line, blanks which is long enough (not too long), can be inserted in the command line to fool ps command to hide the password. (The process won't be displayed when one uses ps to see the processes)
Don't abuse using hide or "blanks method" or you may fool yourself and the Unix administrators.
