Sean - I'm not sure what you mean...
How about batch mode gpg to just encrypt files....
http://mattpayne.org/b.cgi/UNO/webdav.pf talks about a backup script
that uses gpg in batch mode. e.g.
mysqldump -u payne --password="xyzzy" -A | gpg -ea -r payne --batch > b.sql.asc
Kris - Have you already read the docs that google 'why use pgp' points too?

In my experience it's hard to get people to use pgp.
Doesn't using pgp/gpg to sign emails make it harder to have Plausible
deniability :-)
