Bash script support

[Zethson]

Since postman is currently dependent on a console for password input, it cannot be run from bash scripts.
This hinders automation and parallelization.

One workaround is to add a password commandline option, however then the password would be entered in plain text. The config file would then support the password as well.

remkop/picocli#536

Picocli currently does not support interactive hidden passwords combined with password parameters natively. Workarounds are described in the issue.

It could of course also be a good idea to parallelize postman anyways....

You could check for the presence of an environmental variable like POSTMANPWD and POSTMANUSER and use these if set.

That's a good idea, thanks!

After thinking about it, and talking to different people, we should not support credentials in environment vars, even if they are only temporary in the terminal session. To big security concern, and admins could spoof credentials from users ;)
