i clearly understand that, and will manage my script(s) accordingly. thanks. :-) fwiw, the snippet i attached is a part of a larger, expect-based script i use to roll-out gpg "key packages" to new employees. as 'batch' support is only, currently provided (afaict ...) for gen-key, i simply use expect (even though i think it's a major pita!) to be consistent across all my other script functions. atm, there's no other convenient full-autommation option that i'm aware of; and, again, yes, i know it's 'upgrade fragile'. thanks. _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
