Password support

[davewalk]

We would love to use this tool programmatically, but running into issues with passing the password. Would you be open to a PR that added support for using a flag or environment variables or something else? I'm willing to work on it, just wanted to get your thoughts on the best strategy.

Thanks!

Should be fairly simple, for security it would be pref. to use a file rather then argument or env.

And the file would just be:

password

?

[ake-persson]

The file would contain the password, the reason for this is that you can restrict perm. of a file. Where as an argument may be visible in ps.
