Is this possible. gpg -encrypt foo && mv foo.gpg foo ===== Alternatively, if you want no record of the plaintext written to a file at all, you can type it into the command line, and have only the encrypted output written: printf "whatever you write as plaintext" | gpg -a -e -r -o -filename.gpg | more (obviously not intended for big files, or non-text files, but occasionally a useful workaround if you aren't comfortable with your system's 'wipe' process.) vedaal _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
