Do this only after verifying that the public key does indeed belong to the intended recipeint. For example, don't blindly sign a key that says bill.ga...@microsoft.com is you are not sure that the key belongs to Bill Gates. It may belong to "me" and I will have the private key to decrypt any messages that you send (of course, I do not have an email address at domain microsoft.com). Also, if you choose "file" (as you have in your script) there is no need to provide standard input (as you wrote <<EOF yes EOF because your input is "file". You can specify "yes" as your input, and use the -o option to select your output file:
---code--- gpg -o file-to-send.gpg -r bill.ga...@microsoft.com -e <<EOF please reboot your machine EOF ---end-code--- Felipe
