Password as an option

[Steve Butler]

You could cat or type the file contents via a pipe if you want to put the
phrase in a file rather than have them in the bat files.

Since we are moving from a 1024 bit key to a 2048 bit key, I built a script
that would obtain the appropriate pass phrase and set it to $STDLIST.  The
output is then piped to gpg just like the output from echo.

Thanks!  I guess I was looking for a way to feed passphrase a file name.
The echo does work.

The information you seek is in the gpg.man documentation file tha tcomes
with GnuPG:

echo passphrase|gpg --batch --yes --passphrase-fd 0 --symmetric FILENAME
