gpg-agent staying alive

The gpg-agent is not auto started, and I don't want it autostarted.
That's fine.

Now when I call up a script to decrypt a file, it does execute gpg-agent,
and I can decrypt the file.  That's fine.

However, the gpg-agent is staying on an idle process afterwards,
and I would like it to desist after it runs.

I am pretty sure it was desisting awhile ago, because now I see the
gpg-agent in the process list, and I don't remember seeing it before.
