decrypt failure using scheduling tool on UNIX; receive msg 'c annot open /dev/tty'

[Weinmann, Robert]

You need to use something like the following command line:

gpg --passphrase-fd 0 --batch -v -t --output $OUT --decrypt $IN <
$GNUPGHOME/pass

note the "--batch" option.

'cannot open /dev/tty'


All,
The following command executed in a Korn shell script from our scheduling
tool is yielding the message:
gpg: cannot open /dev/tty: No such device or address

command-
gpg --recipient "Qwest HRBATCH"  --passphrase-fd 3 --output output.txt
--decrypt in.txt.pgp   3<pswd.txt

I had hoped that I could get around problem by utilizing a file-descriptor
(fd) other than 0 (std input) but the stmt above still results in the
/dev/tty error
