@findex send-invisible
Send @var{text} as input to the shell, after reading it without
echoing.  This is useful when a shell command runs a program that asks
for a password.

Alternatively, you can arrange for Emacs to notice password prompts
and turn off echoing for them, as follows:

@example
(add-hook 'comint-output-filter-functions
          'comint-watch-for-password-prompt)
@end example

@item M-x comint-continue-subjob
@findex comint-continue-subjob
Continue the shell process.  This is useful if you accidentally suspend

expression:

@example
(remove-hook 'comint-output-filter-functions
             'comint-watch-for-password-prompt)
@end example
