Redirecting STDIN

that doesn't work for some reason (it works with other programs that take
interactive input from the user). I also tried the --yes option, but this
doesn't work either.

Hmm, what's the question where your script is getting stuck?

If, as I suspect, it's dealing with trusting the key your encrypting to, either
sign the key with a local sig or use '--trust-model always'.
