Is GPG-agent running?

1 Answer. Gpg-agent is a program that runs in the background (a daemon) and stores GPG secret keys in memory. When a GPG process needs the key, it contacts the running gpg-agent program through a socket and requests the key. If the agent process has the key, it provides it to gpg.

How can I tell if GPG-agent is running?

If the agent info isn't set it checks to see if the agent is running. If it is, it looks for the env info in a couple of well known locations and if it fails to find it, gives up. If the agent isn't running and the agent info is unset, it starts an agent, writes the env file to a private location, and proceeds.
