Ah that's really great!

I read that in v2.1.13, gpgconf gains an option "--homedir" as well. So
starting with that release, I'd advise to include the --homedir for
gpgconf invocations. In fact, I'm unsure whether the version before
v2.1.13 actually does what you want it to do now... it might only kill
an agent pertaining to the default homedir, I don't know.

You don't need the "-v" on every invocation. It just makes it more
chatty about what it does, and that is helpful when trying to root out
the cause of a problem. It's less useful in production.

You're welcome! I'm happy we found the problem.

Cheers,

Peter.
