@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}
|
|
