Hello, I have a script to decrypt a file and send it to another program:
gpg -q -d "$filename" | mpv - this works fine when my gpg agent is already unlocked, ie the passphrase is alredy cached. But when the agent is not yet unlocked, I get some garbled passphrase prompt which breaks my terminal, and even typing the passphrase does not work what do I need to do? check first whether agent is unlocked, and if not unlock it first and only then proceed with gpg -d? how would I check that? I tried this: if echo "test" | gpg --sign --quiet >/dev/null 2>/dev/null ; then which sort of works, but looks convoluted and also has few hundred milliseconds delay Also, is there a command for unlocking the agent without actually decrypting anything ? thank you, _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org https://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
