I suggest using gpg-agent for caching the passphrase. Then you only have to enter it once as long as gpg-agent is running and the cache-ttl is not expired. Use the following command line for starting gpg-agent (you probably want to use a shorter ttl than 3600 seconds aka 1 hour). eval "$(gpg-agent --daemon --default-cache-ttl 3600)" Then decrypt all files with a simple for-loop. Afterwards you might want to kill gpg-agent. Regards, Ingo
