Pwsafe::Agent

This gem is a wrapper for pwsafe composed of two executables which aim to reduce the typing of the master password.

How it works

A daemon is executed and a client interacts with it to save the master passwowrd for a specified amount of time. At any later invocation, the client asks the daemon for the master password.

Client and server communication is operated across a unix socket.

Master password is expired after 10 minutes.

Any printed output is saved to temporary file into ~/.pwsafe-agent/tmp only for the time required for the client program to execute. This is impossible to avoid given the way pwsafe is designed. If you find any better solution, your contribution is more than welcome.

Server pid is saved at ~/.pwsafe-agent/pid

Usage

pwsafe-client [any-pwsafe-option] 

Examples:

pwsafe-client --list heroku

You can avoid the saving of master password to the server, or flush the saved password by passing --flush option to the client, even in conjunction with any pwsafe command:

pwsafe-client -up amazon --flush

Installation

gem install pwsafe-agent
