I'm sorry Atom for the personal email, I just replied the message without
change the address.
Following the suggestions I created the script
#!/bin/bash
cd /tmp/backup && /bin/echo apassword | /usr/bin/gpg -se --passphrase-fd 0
--logger-fd 1 -r [EMAIL PROTECTED] /tmp/backup/backup20060206100521 >>
/tmp/debug3.txt
Executing it from a cron task I obtained in /tmp/debug3.txt the following
line
gpg: cannot open `/dev/tty': No such device or address
according to this line, it looks line the way I use to pass the password to
gpg is incorrect when the script is used on a cron task.
?Could somebody show me an example how to do it in any way?
I'm sorry, I searched without find the answer to this question.
Thanks in advance for any answer

I understand your point regarding the password, for the nature of this
case it's not the most important thing, I gonna save the backup file on an
external ftp server, where I'll need this protection.
My question is, no matter if I use php or another shell for the scripts,
why if as root I execute my script and I obtained the .gpg file, and when
I execute a root's cron task, the same script fails.
=====================
if your using gpg and php, at least check this out -
http://business-php.com/opensource/gpg_encrypt/
i can make a lot of guesses about why it's not working, but the only thing
that will really give me a hint is to know why it's not working. run the
cron job with a verbose flag and record the output to stderr. something
like this, but you'll probably have to modify it based on your particular
script:
{ gpg -ea *file* ; } 2>&1
or add this to the gpg options on the command line:
--logger-fd 1
then send us the output and someone here can probably figure it out really
quickly.
