gpg script in cron failed with "stdin must be a tty"

[Steve Butler]

Does cron know about the HOMEDIR environment variable?  I have some scripts
that run under cron (pull encrypted files off the ftp server and bring them
inside the firewall before decrypting), but they force the environment to be
set up.  The crontab entries for 'root' that do this look like:

SHELL=/bin/ksh
MAILTO=""
# MAILTO=sbutler@fchn.com
MYENV=/usr/xrg_dba/conf/env.oracle
MYBIN=/usr/xrg_dba/bin
LBIN=/usr/lbin
01,06,11,16,21,26,31,36,41,46,51,56 * * * * . $MYENV; $MYBIN/edi_in
04,09,14,19,24,29,34,39,44,49,54,59 * * * * . $MYENV; $MYBIN/edi_out


The $MYENV (/usr/xrg_dba/conf/env.oracle) sets up a whole slew of Linux and
database variables so that the environment for the scripts looks correct
when running from cron.

Key rings and keys are created without passphrase/
I am having the same problem with encrypt in cron.

PS  You will also have to pass in the pass phrase or ensure that there is no
pass phrase on your secret key.

Cron Usage:  use the --batch and --no-tty options to gpg.

gpg --batch --no-tty --output junk.txt --decrypt junk2.gpg

	A simple gpg script with no passphrase needed:
	gpg --output junk.txt --decrypt junk2.gpg

	runs OK in bash but fails in cron job.

	I get the following message in mail:
	stdin must be a tty

	How can I fix this?
