The situation is this: I have several daemons that need to access some encrypted data to perform different operations on it. For security purposes, I want to enter the decryption password when I start the daemons, using:
system('stty','-echo');
my $input=<STDIN>;
system('stty','echo');
chomp($input);
To make life easier for myself, I want to have one script that will start all the daemons so that I only have to enter the password once, after which this script will launch all the other daemons and provide them with the password. However, I don't know how to have the script give the daemons the password.
Does my question make more sense now?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
