@chapter Helper Tools
|
||||
|
||||
GnuPG comes with a couple of smaller tools:
|
||||
|
||||
@menu
|
||||
* watchgnupg:: Read logs from a socket.
|
||||
* addgnupghome:: Create .gnupg home directories
|
||||
@end menu
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
@node watchgnupg
|
||||
@section Read logs from a socket
|
||||
|
||||
Most of the main utilities are able to write there log files to a
|
||||
Unix Domain socket if configured that way. watchgnupg is a simple
|
||||
listener for such a socket. It ameliorates the output with a time
|
||||
stamp and makes sure that long lines are not interspersed with log
|
||||
output from other utilities.
|
||||
|
||||
@noindent
|
||||
watchgnupg is commonly invoked as
|
||||
|
||||
@samp{watchgnupg --force ~/.gnupg/S.log}
|
||||
|
||||
@noindent
|
||||
This starts it on the current terminal for listening on the socket
|
||||
@file{~/.gnupg/S.log}.
|
||||
|
||||
@noindent
|
||||
watchgnupg understands these options:
|
||||
|
||||
@table @gnupgtabopt
|
||||
|
||||
@item --force
|
||||
@opindex force
|
||||
Delete an already existing socket file.
|
||||
|
||||
@item --verbose
|
||||
@opindex verbose
|
||||
Enable extra informational output.
|
||||
|
||||
@item --version
|
||||
@opindex version
|
||||
print version of the program and exit
|
||||
|
||||
@item --help
|
||||
@opindex help
|
||||
Display a brief help page and exit
|
||||
|
||||
@end table
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
@node addgnupghome
|
||||
@section Create .gnupg home directories
|
||||
|
||||
If GnuPG is installed on a system with existing user accounts, it is
|
||||
sometimes required to populate the GnuPG home directory with existing
|
||||
files. Especially a @file{trustlist.txt} and a keybox with some
|
||||
initial certificates are often desired. This scripts help to do this
|
||||
by copying all files from @file{/etc/skel/.gnupg} to the home
|
||||
directories of the accounts given on the command line. It takes care
|
||||
not to overwrite existing GnuPG home directories.
|
||||
|
||||
@noindent
|
||||
addgnupghome is invoked by root as:
|
||||
|
||||
@samp{addgnupghome account1 account2 ... accountn}
