echo passphrase | gpg --armor --output encrypted_file.gpg \
--recipient "pgpad...@ourclient.com" --local-user \
"myusern...@mycompany.com" --sign --encrypt file_to_encrypt.txt
/should/ work
You may want to look at using --passphrase-file <passFile> or
--passphrase-fd (see man page).
These problems go away by removing the passphrase from the key. Removing the
passphrase also removes the charade that things are all that secure when the
passphrase is in a file readable by anyone with enough access. ;-)
