Using gpg 2.1.1 with Ubuntu 16.04, this fails:
$ printf "5\n" | gpg2 --batch --edit-key 67A92459607354C7 trust quit
...
Please decide how far you trust this user to correctly verify other users'
keys
(by looking at passports, checking fingerprints from different sources,
etc.)
1 = I don't know or won't say
2 = I do NOT trust
3 = I trust marginally
4 = I trust fully
5 = I trust ultimately
m = back to the main menu
*gpg: Sorry, we are in batchmode - can't get input*
Why doesn't this work?
Or rather, can this be made to work?
I'm surprised anything GNU doesn't automatically read input from a redirected
STDIN,
that's Unix 101.
Searching the archives, I see a number of complicated scripting work-arounds.
Maybe I missed the insight somewhere why this simply doesn't "just work" ?
Thanks
John
