How to lsign-key from batch ?

[Nick Dearnaley]

Timo,

Thanks for your quick reply. I seem to be much closer, but I'm still
having problems. I'm generating the command line using the code given
below:

	std::string command;
	command.assign("echo -e 'y\n");
	command.append(passphrase);
	command.append("\n' | gpg --command-fd 0 --status-fd 1 --default-key
");
	command.append(email);
	command.append(" --lsign-key '");
	command.append(ROOT_KEY_EMAIL);
	command.append("'");

	if (system(command.c_str())!=0) {

But I consistantly get the following:

	gpg: Warning: using insecure memory!

	pub  1024D/E3CF9CF0  created: 2001-03-02 expires: never      trust: f/q
	sub  1024g/BAB73012  created: 2001-03-02 expires: never     
	(1)  Root Key v1.2 <root-1.2@imerge.co.uk>


	pub  1024D/E3CF9CF0  created: 2001-03-02 expires: never      trust: f/q
	             Fingerprint: 50A7 1BDE EC4D E798 9DAF  D754 E45A D904 E3CF
9CF0

	     Root Key v1.2 <root-1.2@imerge.co.uk>

	Are you really sure that you want to sign this key
	with your key: "testing <test@imerge.co.uk>"

	The signature will be marked as non-exportable.

	Key not changed so no update needed.

It looks as if it is trying to sign the key, but the change is not
occurring. This happens using the command from the command line too.  I
also tried routing the commands and the passphrase through seperate
fd's, but that didn't seem to help.

Any thoughts? The section on command-fd is not present in docs/DETAILS,
but if you know another source then feel free to just point me at it.
Thanks again.
