HIDING ECHO 
If you dont want to display what you type
 on the screen, then use the command below:
 
 % stty -echo
 
 This will not echo back the character you
 type on the terminal.
 
 To echo back the character you typed:
 % stty echo
 
 You can use stty -echo while reading
 password from user using scripts,
 so that the password wont be echoed
 on the screen.
