Storing your passphrase in a file or ENV variable is never "safe" as told in documents and by mentors.
but what if you want to enter the passphrase number of times or you want a cron job or a script to do use gpg? than here's what i found: gpg's default home dir is ~/.gunpg (you can change it using --homedir option, using this option will, upto some extent provides at-least some security as no one knows where your default directory is) create a file gpg.conf in that folder and edit it to contain text as "passphrase <your-passphrase>" thats all is required. bye Michael Lamothe wrote: > > I think that the -k is used to specify which key to use.
