Thanks, David. I still have a question though: In my script, I used the command "gpg --batch --passphrase-fd 0 -d [INPUTFILE]" to decrypt my "INPUTFILE". When I run the script, it pauses and wait for the passphrase. If I enter the passphrase, the script goes through well. If I hit enter without the right passphrase, the script complains about not having the right passphrase.
How can I run this script in silent mode, feed the passphrase to it automatically? I am trying not to interact with the script during its running.
