Syntax Question on GPG2 on LINUX

[Steve Butler]

Jim,

I don't use modern but I do have a script for classic that works in unattended mode on a Linux box.  The caller knows the input file name and the script knows my passphrase -- default gpg_pass2.  Hope this helps with gpg2! --Steve

$ cat gpg_encrypt
#!/bin/ksh
usage="gpg_encrypt [ -a -b -e ext -n -s ] PK_ID source"
#
#   Interface script for edi and ftpexec to encrypt files vi GnuPG
#
#   -a  Use Ascii Armor (--armor switch)
#   -b  Use binary (e.g. opposite of -a)
#   -e  Use ext as value of file extension (defaults to pgp when not specified)
#   -n  Do not sign (e.g. opposite of -s)
#   -s  Sign using key for helpdesk at fchn.com as signing key
# For conflicting options, the last one entered takes precedence.
#
#   PK_ID  Key ID to which the file is to be encrypted.
#   source Source file name to encrypt.
#
# Encryptes to a file of source.ext and name is echoed to stdlist

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

       exit 2
       ;;

done

shift $(($OPTIND - 1))

if [[ $# -ne 2 ]]; then
  echo "gpg_encrypt:  Must supply 2 parameters" >&2

Subject: Syntax Question on GPG2 on LINUX

Hello All -

I am working in a LINUX environment using GPG version 2.1.15

Can anyone give me the syntax to use gpg2  to create a signed, encrypted file using a passphrase in a LINUX shell script ?  This is being run from Oracle EBS on a schedule so there would not be a user interacting to answer prompts. With this mode, is there any terminal settings I would need to set ?

Thanks !!
