Hint 1: Use echo to help you debug - i.e.
echo cat $file
echo gpg ......
That way you can see what your script is _trying_ to do, not what
you want it to do.
Questions:
What are you trying to do? Decrypt all the files in the directory
"/data/files" ? This script won't do that. You are passing
"/data/files" to GnuPG, not a list of the files IN that directory.
(You will see this when you use the echo hint above.)
If you want all of the files inside /data/files, set
var=/data/files/* and that should work.
Hint 2: I find it useful (others will disagree) to put brackets around
my variables to let the shell be sure what I want it to do...
So the line:
for i in $var
would become
for i in ${var}
Then there is no confusion when you want to do something like
${var}stuff
However that is an aside.
Cheers,
S.
