I want to write a script that will run gpg
a file called "file" with the passphrase "test".
Normally, when I use gpg
, I usually just run gpg -c file
and it asks me for the passphrase. But since I want this script to do everything on its own, I would like to provide the passphrase as part of the command.
Now when I try to use: gpg -c file --passphrase test
, it outputs:
usage: gpg [options] --symmetric [filename]
Which seams like it wants me to use gpg --passphrase test --symmetric file
. But if I do that, it pops up a dialog asking me for the passphrase to use; which is not what I want.
How do I do set up the arguments correctly?
