Starting up gpg-agent script
 

Hi All,

I am trying this script in /etc/env.d/90gpg-agent:
================================
if test -f $HOME/.gpg-agent-info && kill -0 `cut -d: -f 2
$HOME/.gpg-agent-info` 2>/dev/null; then
GPG_AGENT_INFO=`cat $HOME/.gpg-agent-info`
export GPG_AGENT_INFO
else
eval `/usr/bin/gpg-agent --daemon`
echo $GPG_AGENT_INFO >$HOME/.gpg-agent-info
fi
================================

But when I emerged kgpg I got this error:
================================
!!! 'ParseError: Invalid token 'test' (not '='):
/etc/env.d/90gpg-agent: line 1 in /etc/env.d/90gpg-agent'
================================

Can you please help me correct the above script, I'm not sure
what's wrong with it.

env-update doesn't evaluate scripts. It expects only variable assignments.

You mention kgpg, are you using KDE? If so, it takes care of this
automatically, you only need to uncomment the relevant lines in the agent
startup and shutdown scripts in /etc/kde. Otherwise, put the script in a
file in /etc/profile.d.

Ahh! Didn't know that. Thanks. :-)

I only use a few KDE apps. rather than the full DE. I used to have an
one-liner in /etc/X11/Sessions/fluxbox, but that means if I choose
another WM/DE the previous gpg-agent is still running. Meanwhile, I
found this:

http://bugs.gentoo.org/258944

will give it a spin and see how it goes.

This works fine, as long as I start fluxbox from the console with startx, but
not if I use xdm ... probably something to do with the former using xinit?
