Hi,

I'm trying to decrypt a gpg file thorugh a shell script. But i' could'nt. My script is ,

-sh-3.1$ cat test_gpg.sh
#!/bin/ksh

echo " Hello, iam testing GPG"

gpg prabhu.txt.gpg <<EOF
prompt prabhu
EOF
exit 0

The file i'm trying to decrypt is prabhu.txt.gpg and my passphrase is "prabhu".

Can someone please help me on this ASAP.

Hi all,

Just sharing this for informative purpose.

My below script works succesfully.

#!/bin/ksh

### Fetching the password from file or database
pass_phrase=`cat radhas_pwd|awk '{print $1}'`

### Decrypting the encrypted file by passing the passphrase and the output file
gpg --passphrase $pass_phrase --output prabhu.txt --decrypt prabhu.txt.gpg

exit
