Hello! I'm attempting to run GPG from cron, and it's not working. I can= run the script from the command line, and all works perfectly. When I try= to run it from cron, however, it doesn't work. The crontab calls this= script, called "pgpdecrypt" with the following crontab line: */1 * * * * root /bin/bash /etc/pgpdecrypt The /bin/bash wasn't originally there; I added it to make sure that the= script was using the correct shell. Still no luck. Here's the script that= it calls: echo >> /etc/pgpdecrypt.logger "PGP Decrypter Starting" cd /home/folder for filename in `ls *pgp` do gpg --batch --no-tty --passphrase-fd 0 --output= /home/folder/pgp-decrypted/$filename.txt --decrypt /home/folder/$filename <= /home/folder/pp /home/folder/pgp-decrypted/import.pl= /home/folder/pgp-decrypted/$filename.txt echo >> /etc/pgpdecrypt.logger "/home/folder/$filename= /home/folder/pgp-original/$filename" done The output file is cheerfully logging the filenames appropriately. = /var/log/messages doesn't contain any errors. Anybody got any ideas? Even= if I could get a competent logging mechanism in place to see why GPG= doesn't feel like running, that would be great. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
