automating signing of keys

[DBSMITH at OhioHealth.com]

I have not seen any responses.  But I have an add'l question: after
importing, and verifying is it required to sign the new key prior to
encrypting?

gpg users:

I am running gpg 1.2.1 on AIX 5.2
I saw on the archive list (
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=105352149400003&r=1&w=2) for automating key
signing after an expiration of an individual key:

gpg - -command-fd 0 - -status-fd 2 [...]

but what is the full functional string:

I tried

gpg - -options "file" - -command-fd 0 - -status-fd 2 - -sign-key talx

and it returned: [GNUPG:] GET_LINE sign_uid.expire
I then exited and got a return code of 130 after typing echo $?


please help!

thank you,
derek
