Still no go
I appreciate your help. It still didn't work though. Here's what I'm getting.
$: decrypt_file /home/carlsob/test-file.txt
this is my test passphrase
Reading passphrase from file descriptor 0
You need a passphrase to unlock the secret key for
user: "test name (test comment) <testemail@pni.com>"
1024-bit ELG-E key, ID 84D710AC, created 2006-01-13 (main key ID F423056A)
-*- Error - decrypt (gpg) failed
$:
It appears as if the passphrase is being read before it's needed.
Here's the code snippet:
# Let's decrypt the file
PP='this is my test passphrase'
echo $PP
echo $PP| $U/gpg --command-fd 0 --passphrase-fd 0 --decrypt-files "$1.gpg" > /tm
p/$$data 2>&1
