Hmm, really complex stuff there. I guess whatever I cobbled together
in 2009 isn’t as sophisticated.

https://evolvis.org/plugins/scmgit/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=shellsnippets/shellsnippets.git;a=blob;f=posix/sysadmin/agents.sh;h=485f025a5171a0721bb0cb10c3676f96393715f3;hb=HEAD

Anyway, at first glance, the new script (ignore the first part about
removing old gpg configs and running ssh-agent) appears to work,
although I’ve not yet tested after reboot. Thanks for the information!

Besides some logic changes (to avoid nesting ifs) I now set the
GPG_AGENT_INFO myself if not set, and write the “PID” file manually
instead of telling gpg-agent to do it. This appears to make pickup
from another session work, too.

bye,
