using VMRC standalone from a linux X11-shell/desktop

I want to start vmrc from the shell. There by I use --user and --password. The information is seen in the process table.

I am looking for a solution like piping the username/password into the vmrc. Or for the mechanims the browser is calling the vmrc.

  • [tbasien@tab-ol7 vmware]$ echo "--user=guggus --password=secret" | /usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmrc  ....

If the browser is doing that, something like onetime token is been used:
