I have an odd situation here, maybe one of you can help. We have a
script that runs via a cron job. It's purpose is to decrypt
PGP-encrypted files in a certain directory. I have tried the command
two different ways, both fail with the same error message:
gpg --decrypt $file

Why does it say secret key not available? The output of gpg -K
shows that the key is in fact available, and this is further confirmed
when I run the script manually and the files are decrypted just fine.
Is the cron job running as a different user? eg;

The cronjob script runs from /etc/crontab. Let me try root's personal
crontab instead.
Typically this type of problem is caused by environment variables
that are set in a login shell, but are missing or different than
those set for jobs running under cron.
You nailed it, Bill. Running the cron from root's personal crontab
worked fine. Must have been environment variable
