How to bypass the passphrase prompt when runing gpg decrypt command in a script?

[Steve Butler]

Thought sure it would be the FAQ by now.  Seems to be asked every day.

1. Decide whether you want to hard code the passphrase someplace on your
hard drive (as in the script or in a file the script can read); or,

2. Remove the pass phrase from your secret key.

If the later, remove it and be done.  If the former, then you will need to
do something on the order of:

cat my_pass_phrase_file | gpg --batch --notty --homedir $homedir
--passphrase-fd 0 --output my_text_file --decrypt my_encrypted_file

Hi all,

Does anyone know how to achieve this in a script when running gpg decrypt
option w/o prompting for passphrase input? I'm using Version: GnuPG v1.0.7
(OSF1). 

Thanks in advance,

Shiuwen
