Sure, just do something like this:

 gpg --batch -r (recipient) --output (name-for-encrypted-file) --encrypt (file-to-encrypt)

However, this assumes that the recipient is trusted by you.  If not,
then you also need to add "--trust-model always" to override that.

This also assumes that name-for-encrypted-file doesn't exist.  GPG
won't overwrite it if it exists.  To force GPG to overwrite the
existing file, add "--yes".
