The original message finally arrived in my mailbox, so I see that you've already tried cron and didn't know how to set environmental variables that way. The answers are simple; set them in the crontab (usually on the command line you're executing), or write a wrapper script and call that from your crontab. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Re: Running script from rc.d as local user
You need a first line in your script to choose what shell to run it: #!/usr/local/bin/bash You should add a line: /usr/bin/su [to your username] Then try it at bootup as an rc script. -Derek At 08:24 AM 3/8/2007, Gerard Seibert wrote: I am trying to get gpg-agent to start at boot time. If I place this in the ~/.bash_profile file, the program starts correctly.

Obviously, I do not want that behavior. I tried starting it from CRON; however, the variables: GPG_AGENT_INFO GPG_TTY are not set.. I then tried to create a script and run it from /usr/local/etc/rc.d; however, that forces the script to run as root, which I do not want. -- Gerard ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
