Forgive a silly question, but what's wrong with decrypting the file as a way of verifying the encryption worked? > At the very least, though, a way of testing that the file encryption was > successful without having to sit at my desk at 3AM running 'gpg > --decrypt filename' to test it would be very helpful. If you're already sitting at your desk at 3AM doing encryptions, then doing a decryption shouldn't be a terrible additional step. If you've got a Perl script that's doing the encryptions, then have your Perl script do the verification step, too. _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
