On the keyserver that I maintain/admin (http://pgp.yashy.ottawa.on.ca)
I've set up a cron script uses gpg to automatically create a list of
newly added keys.

If I manually invoke the script all works well, however when the cron
job executes the same script it gives me the following error:

>---------- Forwarded message ----------
>Date: Fri, 13 Nov 1998 01:00:08 -0500
>From: Cron Daemon <root at euphoria.yashy.ottawa.on.ca>

>Subject: Cron <pgp at euphoria> $HOME/scripts/daily
>
>gpgm: fatal: cannot open /dev/tty: No such device or address
>gpgm: fatal: cannot open /dev/tty: No such device or address

the line which i'm executing is as follows:

gpgm $HOME/public_html/daily-added.txt>$HOME/public_html/list-keys.txt


The files which are generated/created and are available on
http://pgp.yashy.ottawa.on.ca are as follows:

NOV1998-added.zip - maintains a list of keys added in the last month
NOV1998.zip - a list of all the keys on the keyserver
added-keys.txt - all the keys added since the begining of the month

can anyone suggest as to what I can do to fix/alleviate the error I am getting?

regards

robert
