   I don't blame you because someone can probably do some damage to a system.  I   
   turned on clear/case sensitive passwords temporarily to make sure I was   
   reading the file right.  Again, not the best practice in anyway.  I think   
   removing it is a good idea, personally.

   I'm going to try to capture the STDIO and see if I can get that to work.  If   
   there was a REST API, then that would be even better.  Thanks for all your   
   support!
