First of all you should not use --allow-multiple-messages: @item --allow-multiple-messages @item --no-allow-multiple-messages Allow processing of multiple OpenPGP messages contained in a single file or stream. Some programs that call GPG are not prepared to deal with multiple messages being processed together, so this option defaults to no. Note that versions of GPG prior to 1.4.7 always allowed multiple messages. Warning: Do not use this option unless you need it as a temporary workaround! > The command doesn't work anymore and I'm getting a popup window for > entering my passphrase. I'm looking for a command that decrypts > multiple files with the same passphrase without any additional "ask > windows". I already searched the manual but didn't found any helpful gpg2 requires the gpg-agent to handle the secret keys. The gpg-agent also caches passphrases, thus you need to enter them only once. Install gpg-agent properly so that gpg2 does not fall back to start gpg-agent for each operation which prohibits the caching. If you don't want a puinentry popup at all, you may seen the gpg-agent cahce with passphrases. See gpg-preset-passphrase for more info: SYNOPSIS gpg-preset-passphrase [options] [command] keygrip DESCRIPTION The gpg-preset-passphrase is a utility to seed the internal cache of a running gpg-agent with passphrases. It is mainly useful for unattended machines, where the usual pinentry tool may not be used and the passphrases for the to be used keys are given at machine startup. Passphrases set with this utility don't expire unless the --forget option is used to explicitly clear them from the cache --- or gpg-agent is either restarted or reloaded (by sending a SIGHUP to it). It is necessary to allow this passphrase presetting by starting gpg-agent with the --allow-preset-passphrase. gpg-preset-passphrase is invoked this way: gpg-preset-passphrase [options] [command] keygrip keygrip is a 40 character string of hexadecimal characters identifying the key for which the passphrase should be set or cleared. This keygrip is listed along with the key when running the command: gpgsm --dump-secret-keys. One of the following command options must be given: --preset Preset a passphrase. This is what you usually will use. gpg-preset-passphrase will then read the passphrase from stdin. [...] Shalom-Salam, Werner -- Die Gedanken sind frei.
