Well if you can tell me how to get the variable GPG_AGENT_INFO exported
properly were both good to go. I took the file you mentioned and copied
it to /home/user/.gpg-agent-start put the #!/bin/bash as the first line
then used chmod+x /home/user/.gpg-agent-start on it and added this to
my .bash_profile.
if [ -f ~/.gpg-agent-start ]; then
./.gpg-agent-start
fi
Then the agent will start and the correct information gets put into
the .gpg-agent-info file that is used. This is code that I used for
the .gpg-agent-start file I created.
#!/bin/bash
## Added by me for gpg-agent startup
STARTGPG=yes
GPGAGENT=/usr/bin/gpg-agent
GPGAGENTARGS="--daemon"
#GPGAGENTARGS="--daemon --debug-all"
if grep -qs ^use-gpg-agent "$OPTIONFILE"; then
if [ -x "$GPGAGENT" ]; then
STARTGPG=yes
fi
fi
if [ -n "$STARTGPG" ]; then
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 `gpg-agent --daemon`
echo $GPG_AGENT_INFO >$HOME/.gpg-agent-info
# Added by me
export GPG_AGENT_INFO
fi
fi
#AGENT_FILE='cut -d: -f 1 $HOME/.gpg-agent-info'
#AGENT_PID='cut -d: -f 2 $HOME/.gpg-agent-info'
#GPG_AGENT_INFO=$AGENT_FILE:$AGENT_PID:1
GPG_AGENT_INFO=`cat $HOME/.gpg-agent-info`
export GPG_AGENT_INFO
As you can see I tried a couple of ways to get it going but none will
give me the agent being exported properly although i can get the
information in a console window.

/tmp/gpg-bIHaXm/S.gpg-agent:642:1
And the agent does get started.

642 ? Ss 0:00 /usr/bin/gpg-agent.real --daemon
1170 pts/5 S+ 0:00 grep agent
So if anyone can tell me what is wrong with the script then it should
work.
And strangely enough when I went to send this message it asked for my
passphrase so I thought I would save it as a draft and the signing
works but you have to enter the passphrase every time (I sent myself a
couple of test messages) I don't remember it being like that before. So
apparently it is only Kgpg that complains about the agent not being
started and you can disable that in its configuration and never have to
see that message when you login.
