Cron runs under a very different environment from your desktop session
-- the variables needed for GPG agent are not set in that environment.
I wrote a program run-in-gui / run-in-env-of a while ago, that, while
needing root, starts your program in the same environment as your
desktop session. Check my Github for them.
