How to automatically overwrite the output file when running `gpg` (i.e. without being prompted)?
GnupgGnupg Problem Overview
If I have the same filename in the target directory, decryption fails.
The command I'm using to decrypt:
gpg --passphrase-fd 0 -o D:/Notification/mytest.txt --batch \
--passphrase-file D:/passphrase.txt -d D:/Notification/mytest.gpg
It doesn't overwrite the mytest.txt file so each time I need to delete the file before I execute the script.
Is there any option to overwrite the output fie?
Gnupg Solutions
Solution 1 - Gnupg
Adding --batch --yes
Example:
gpg --batch --yes -u me@bbb.com -r "[email protected]" \
--output "OUTPUTFILENAME.xls.pgp" -a -s -e "FILE.xls"
Complete example with passphrase file:
gpg --batch --yes --passphrase-fd 0 -u me@bbb.com -r "[email protected]" \
--output "OUTPUTFILENAME.xls.pgp" -a -s -e "FILE.xls"< \
passphrase.txt
Solution 2 - Gnupg
Just add the --yes option to you command line. The --yes option assumes yes for most questions which gpg will prompt for.
