Hi,
I have been using the command stty -echo which is supposed to turn of
displaying characters. But it is not turning off the echoing of typed chars.
Example:
$ stty -echo
$ echo hi
hi
$
Here "echo hi" should not have been printed.
Is this a bug or have I not interpreted the man pages?
AFAIK it doesn't work in an interactive shell.
But it works in a script, just try something like:
#!/bin/sh
stty -echo

Thanks in advance,
