is there an open source for Appcfg.cmd

[e.ho...@fci-cu.edu.eg]

Hello All,

  I'm wondering if there is an open source for appcfg.cmd. Actually, I hope to add password parameter to its commands, currently it only supports adding email.

appcfg.sh has a parameter to provide a password via standard input.

Passing passwords in flags for command line tools is not secure and should not be allowed or implemented.
People could use process viewers (like ps on linux/macs or windows equivalent) to see the details of the process and discover the text of the password in clear.
Security teams always recommend prompts, or getting the value from a file which can be secured by the correct permissions (rw for the owner, and not visible for anybody else).
