Then you might as well not have any authentication at all, because every
user on your system can then read the password off the "ps" output.

You can put it into the environment variable PGPASSWORD, but that *might*
suffer from the same problems depending on your OS. If you want real
noninteractive login you will have to use a different authentication
method, such as ident.
