Password manager without a password manager

Prelude

Since password managers are big and complicated and I currently am pretty bored since I am sitting in a car for a few hours, here is a simple algorithm to generate resource-specific, unique passwords using a master password and no password database.

WARNING

As pointed out here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4374888 this method is broken.

Did you know that bash will reload a script *while it is executing*?!
#!/bin/bash
function addnext {
NUM=$1
sleep 1
echo HI $NUM
NUM=$(expr $NUM + 1)
echo addnext $NUM >> $0
}
