How to use gpg to encrypt data in batch/non-interactive mode?
Hello,
I have to encrypt data using a script in batch mode without being prompted. I can successfully encrypt data but it prompts me to enter (y/N) as shown below. I tried batch flags without no success. I need to automate this without any prompts. Appreciate your inputs.
Thanks,
C.



Code:
$ gpg   --output test.gpg --encrypt --recipient jone_doe@abc.com   test.out
gpg: FC8B84A4: There is no assurance this key belongs to the named user

pub  2048g/FC8B84A4 2006-05-16 jone_doe@abc.com <jone_doe@abc.com>
 Primary key fingerprint: 3D8A 4A1C 2E78 386D B127  C705 47B3 C177 6E2B 6A83
      Subkey fingerprint: 85C9 A419 B16C 4815 3C65  D8C3 A11E 62A3 FC8B 84A4

It is NOT certain that the key belongs to the person named
in the user ID.  If you *really* know what you are doing,
you may answer the next question with yes.

Use this key anyway? (y/N) y

The man page suggests --yes.

I tried with --yes option without success.

Code:
$ gpg --yes --output test.gpg --encrypt --recipient janedoe@abc.com test.out
gpg: FC8B84A4: There is no assurance this key belongs to the named user
