keeping ssh-agent process around after logout (2)

["Karl M" <karlm30 at hotmail dot com>]

Hi All...

The attached script launches the ssh-agent (via keychain) from cygrunsrv so 
that it (the ssh-agent process) survives logout. It takes no keys when it is 
launched, it just creates the ssh-agent process that can stay around 
forever. Then when you start a bash login shell, the keychain invocation in 
your .profile will feed in the key list and ask for passphrases. Now you are 
set until the next reboot.

This version is simpler and more robust.

Enjoy,

...Karl
