Suppressing passphrase prompt

[Steve Butler]

Oops.  I gave my decrypt script which has the passphrase stuff.  Here is my
encrypt script which does not do signing.  However, feel free to merge the
two scripts for your purposes:

XRG_DBA=${XRG_DBA:=/usr/xrg_dba}
xrgbin=$XRG_DBA/bin

homedir=$($xrgbin/default gpg_home)

if [[ $# -ne 2 ]]; then
  echo "gpg_script: Must supply 2 parameters" >&2
  exit 99
fi

rm -f "$2.pgp" > /dev/null

gpg --homedir $homedir --no-tty --always-trust --recipient $1 \
    --output "$2.pgp" --encrypt "$2"
x=$?
if [ $x -ne 0 ]; then
  echo "gpg_script: gpg failure code '$x'" >&2
fi
echo "$2.pgp"
exit $x

Use --passphrase-fd then for automated entering.
