For the record: I do not know whether that would work, either. So unless
we are fairly certain that it *would* work, I'd rather not spend the time.

Your original issue seemed to be that the gpg command could succeed, but
still no signature be seen. There *must* be a way to test whether the
called program added a signature, simply by testing whether *any*
characters were written.

And if characters were written that were not actually a GPG signature,
maybe the enterprisey user who configured the gpg command to be her magic
script actually meant something else than a GPG signature to be added?

Ciao,
Dscho
