Make a file that looks like this:
%echo Generating a standard key
Key-Type: DSA
Key-Length: 1024
Subkey-Type: ELG-E
Subkey-Length: 1024
Name-Real: Joe Tester
Name-Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Passphrase: abc
%pubring foo.pub
%secring foo.sec
# Do a commit here, so that we can later print "done" :-)
%commit
%echo done
Then do:
gpg --batch --gen-key /path/to/the/file/above
End result will be a public key in foo.pub and secret key in foo.sec.
See the DETAILS file (in the doc directory) for the various things you
can do.
