surprised to see I have two processes. $ ps axjf | grep gpg 1 3980 3980 3980 ? -1 Ss 1000 0:00 /usr/bin/gpg-agent --sh --daemon --write-env-file /home/lina/.cache/gpg-agent-info 1 6109 6109 6109 ? -1 Ss 1000 0:00 /usr/bin/gpg-agent --sh --daemon --write-env-file /home/lina/.cache/gpg-agent-info 6223 6739 6738 6223 pts/0 6738 S+ 1000 0:00 \_ grep --color=auto gpg
:/tmp$ ls gpg* gpg-RI3XNy: S.gpg-agent gpg-UGEUjm: S.gpg-agent $ more /home/lina/.cache/gpg-agent-info GPG_AGENT_INFO=/tmp/gpg-UGEUjm/S.gpg-agent:6109:1 Well, it doesn't work for me. The pinentry window is dead, kinda of, won't be able to react my keyboard input, except the cancel/Okay button, might be some bug. BTW, SIGHUP This signal flushes all cached passphrases and if the program has been started with a configuration file, the configuration file is read again. Only certain options are honored: quiet, verbose, debug, debug-all, debug-level, no-grab, pinentry-pro‐ gram, default-cache-ttl, max-cache-ttl, ignore-cache-for-sign‐ ing, allow-mark-trusted, disable-scdaemon, and disable-check- own-socket. scdaemon-program is also supported but due to the current implementation, which calls the scdaemon only once, it is not of much use unless you manually kill the scdaemon. I don't understand your point of .xsession-error here.
