walletd: --wallet-password-file?

[KrzysztofHajdamowicz]

I'm running a production instance of bytecoin. walletd requires to enter a password via stdin. There's deprecated method to enter it via argv param.

Maybe there should be an option to specify a file with a password, so I can store passwd here and chmod 600 that file, so nobody else can touch it?

I agree. I have been running into a similar problem. I'm likely going to make the modification my self very soon. I may set up an option to get the variable from the environment as well.

feel free to use the code from this commit in my fork i just added ;) https://github.com/cryptogems-currency/cryptogem/commit/90d1ca3b10feddbdf550a48f666e28997eb8fc9d I have not tested the file one but it should work. The environment variables work perfectly however.

This isn't a solution for doing this right via systemd.
