On my machines anyway, gpg is in /usr/bin, so that isn't the problem
unless gpg is not world executable.
I'm a firm believer in E.F.Schumacher's saying "Give a man a fish and
you've fed him for a day. Teach him to fish and you've fed him for
life".
This approach also applies to systems administration. In this case
knowing how path and cron work and knowing which tools let you
investigate problems in that area are sysadmin essentials, so IME
helping people investigate for themselves is always preferable to simply
giving them the answer.
Perhaps but this is not a unix sysadmin mailing list ;-)
