A running gpg-agent may be controlled by signals, i.e. using the kill command to send a signal to the process.
Here is a list of supported signals:
SIGHUP
quiet
,
verbose
, debug
, debug-all
, debug-level
,
no-grab
, pinentry-program
, default-cache-ttl
,
max-cache-ttl
, ignore-cache-for-signing
,
allow-mark-trusted
, disable-scdaemon
, and
disable-check-own-socket
. scdaemon-program
is also
supported but due to the current implementation, which calls the
scdaemon only once, it is not of much use unless you manually kill the
scdaemon.
SIGTERM
SIGINT
SIGUSR1
SIGUSR2
