Re: BillMax questions -- Plaintext Password

["David Richardson" <isp@derdev.com>]

Chidi,
You _should_ be able to handle changes to existing and establishing new service details through the service_hook.

The example service_hook file is pretty darn good at showing the shell script for each circumstance.  You should still be able to leverage the $PASSWORD ENV variable and send it to your script for each event.

You may need to describe more of what you're doing/frustrated with to get more help.

Dave
