Is it just me or does everyone think that placing
sensitive userids and passwords in clear text is just
a bad thing?

Not complaining about the procedure here, you gotta do
what you gotta do, but has anyone complained to IBM
about requiring clear text passwords for this and
other scripts?

It's easier than you think. Your script should run something like:

#!/bin/bash
<check to see if process is running>
if <it isn't, go to end>
else
        dsmadmc -id=id -password=passwd halt
done
end
