key generation in a script or non interactive mode?

[Afzal, Naeem M]

Thanks, that was exactly what I was looking for. I followed the instructions in the doc, and it works on Ubuntu host as user, but if I chroot to a filesystem within this host, I get the following error within chroot'd filesystem:


user at ubuntu-host$ sudo chroot ~/target/fs

root at ubuntu-host# cat >foo <<EOF
     %echo Generating a standard key
     Key-Type: DSA
     Key-Length: 1024
     Subkey-Type: ELG-E
     Subkey-Length: 1024
     Name-Real: Joe Tester
     Name-Comment: with stupid passphrase
     Name-Email: joe at foo.bar
     Expire-Date: 0
     Passphrase: abc
     %pubring foo.pub
     %secring foo.sec
     # Do a commit here, so that we can later print "done" :-)
     %commit
     %echo done
EOF
root at ubuntu-host# gpg --batch --gen-key -a foo
/usr/bin/gpg: 1: Syntax error: "(" unexpected
