Description

I expected gpgconf --homedir $x --kill keyboxd to terminate a running keyboxd daemon.

This does not appear to work with 2.4.7:

0 dkg@bob:~$ mkdir -m 0700 /tmp/gg
0 dkg@bob:~$ echo use-keyboxd > /tmp/gg/common.conf
0 dkg@bob:~$ gpg --homedir /tmp/gg --list-keys

similarly, gpgconf --homedir /tmp/gg --kill all does not terminate keyboxd, despite the fact that gpgconf(1) says:

--kill [component]
-K

Kill the given component that runs as a daemon, including gpg-agent, dirmngr, and scdaemon. A component which does not run as a daemon will be ignored. Using "all" for component kills all components running as daemons. Note that as of now reload and kill have the same effect for scdaemon.

and the enumeration from gpgconf --list-components does indeed list keyboxd.
