Read from input without echo

[Damu R]

Hi,
I am trying to read password from the terminal input.I am unable to find a
way to read input from the terminal without echoing. I am able to do it from
the erlang shell, but it is not happening in a standalone script (escript).
Looks like the erlang shell uses a different group leader process for i/o.
Is there a way to read password from a escript?

Thank you
Damu
