Re: hashing passwords

I've got a related problem. I want to make a shell script to clean out old database entries every day. It'll need to run without user interaction, so I have to include the password; is there a way I can use a password hash instead so I don't have to put it in plaintext in a file? Something like mysql -md5p instead of -p?
