    Hi Bob,<br>
    <br>
    Thanks for checking it out!  Guess not too many people are writing
    scripts that need to deal with passwords.  I will go ahead and
    submit it as a bug.<br>

                          Everyone,<br>
                          <br>
                          I found this old thread from 2009 about trying
                          to hide user input in an escript (e.g.
                          entering a password).<br>

                          It concluded with:<br>
                          <blockquote type="cite">
                            <pre style="line-height:normal;text-indent:0px;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:start;font-variant:normal;text-transform:none;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;word-spacing:0px">The problem seems to be that escript uses the old shell, which
does not support any way to control the terminal.

We'll have a look at escript for the next release and see whether
it would be possible to have it run with the standard shell.</pre>
                          </blockquote>
                          <br>
                          Does anyone know if this has been fixed.  I
                          looked through the docs and do not find
                          io:get_password/0, or any options for reading
                          stdin to not echo the characters back.<br>
                          <br>
                          Looking forward to meeting those of you
                          attending Erlang Factory in a couple of days.<br>
