Description

@rgov

%[1]s login localhost:8443 --username=myuser --password=mypass`)

This ought to be removed or at the least there should to be a warning here that this is unsafe. Command line arguments are not protected from sniffing by other users (say, with ps). Environment variables are not exposed in the same way.
