Issue
We want to be able to launch a JNLP agent using command line options, nevertheless when the agent is running others could get connection information that we would prefer to hide from a ps command execution.

Resolution
As described in one of the comments inside JENKINS-18342, we can create a file where each entry shown below must be in a different line:
params.txt
-jnlpUrl https://somewhere/xx.jnlp -secret <SECRET>
Once that we save this file as params.txt we should be able to invoke the agent using the syntax shown below:
java -jar agent.jar @params.txt
