Well say I have U&P or API keys for some network service and I have a little shell script that automates it. I can save the auth info in the script or in a ~/.keys/ file or something and the file system permissions are all that's protecting them.

If my script could retrieve a password from my KeePass DB if it's unlocked, or ask me to unlock it, that would be cool.

Yes, makes sense! I would need to change it to output only the password without all the extra info that only makes sense for humans - could work in this script mode when provided with an additional command line option.
