I'm trying to encrypt a .tar.gz with a passphrase from a shell script. I've tried gpg2 --passphrase whatever -c but then gnupg-agent pops up a dialog asking for a password.

Never used GnuPG before so i know nothing about it.

It's better not to pass passwords as arguments. Use gpg --passphrase-file filename instead. – Dennis Williamson Jan 13 '11 at 19:51

--batch --passphrase did the job. Knew about passphrase-file but i gain nothing from it. – ggustafsson Jan 13 '11 at 22:33
