<div>>Courtney,</div>
<div>></div>
<div>>Not sure about your earlier questions, I'm afraid, but I'd guess
that</div>
<div>>the people who would be able to help might need more information
to be</div>
<div>>able to track down the problem... There is a verbose mode
(-vv) which</div>
<div>>lists absolutely everything GPG does, that might help.</div>
<div>></div>
<div>>GPG also has "assume yes" and "assume no"
options. If you take a look</div>
<div>>at gpg --help (one of my favorites :) you'll see
that the options</div>
<div>>include:</div>
<div>></div>
<div>>
--batch
batch mode: never ask</div>
<div>>
--yes
assume yes on most questions</div>
<div>>
--no
assume no on most questions</div>
<div>></div>
<div>>If that doesn't help, I can only suggest looking through the man
pages</div>
<div>>or asking here again, with a little more information about
which</div>
<div>>specific messages are being interactive.</div>

<div>It is hanging on encrypting, unencrypting, and verifying files...I have used the --batch command with assume yes and 99% of the time this works fine. The service hangs on occasion though. I can kill the process BUT, since it is running in the background I cannot tell what user input it is waiting on..</div>
<br>
<div>The manual does not have a solution for this. Is there an option that if there is any requested input or a problem, that the program just exits instead of sitting there. I would rather the program exit than hang for user input locking the keyrings.</div>
