Backgroud

When using the "Nextcloud Command Line Client" aka. nextcloudcmd, I have 2 options to declare the username and password needed to authenticate to a Nextcloud server.

• Interactive mode
• using the argument --user & --password

I would like to use the nextcloudcmd command in a script without using interactive mode, which means I have to use arguments. But I really don't like that because it leaks username and password, so that any user on the computer can grep it using ps. Here is an example

[user@computer ~]$ while ! ps aux | grep -v grep | grep nextcloudcmd; do sleep 0; done
services 1088791  0.0  0.1 102364 11520 pts/0    R+   23:41   0:00 nextcloudcmd --path /Notes --user test --password secret --exclude /home/services/nextcloud-sync-exclude.list /data/Notes https://nextcloud.example.com

Feature description

So, my feature is to have the option to set user and password through environment variables.

Example if the argument --password isn't provided nextcloudcmd would check if for the environment variable NEXTCLOUD_CLIENT_PASSWORD and if it didn't exist, ask for the password in the using a prompt.

and of course, I would like the same workflow for --user
