how do I hide curl arguments from command line?
I have a cronjob that runs this command:
curl -s -G -H Authorization: Bearer ${mysecret} ${myurl}
I'm a ding dong--I just realized everyone can see my password when they issue a "ps -ef | grep curl". I tried using the -d option, but was unsuccessful. Do you know how I can hide the value for $mysecret?
linux shell curl

You could ditch shell and curl and use a language like python or perl that have a http user agent library.

Put the command in a script and call the script from the cronjob.

@TravisClarke that won't work, people will still be able to see the curl password by running the ps command.

See curl - Read headers from file. You've got two options.
For new versions (7.55 and newer) of curl:
curl -H @filename ${myurl}
Where filename holds header and the secrets: Authorization: Bearer mysecret
For older versions create a config file:
curl -K filename ${myurl}
Where filename holds the option: -H "Authorization: Bearer mysecret"
