Well, the whole thing is kinda long, but the part I was fooling with lately |
| 11 |
now looks like this, and partly automates the use of ssh-agent for my |
| 12 |
(very frequent) use of ssh from home to some machines at work. The |
| 13 |
problem was probably either the "echo" commands or that this actually |
| 14 |
proceeds within a subshell. |

if [ "x" != "x$PS1" ] ; then |
| 18 |
SHELL_LOGIN=1 |
| 19 |
else |
| 20 |
# Probably scp; empty string is false |
| 21 |
SHELL_LOGIN= |
| 22 |
fi |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
if [ -n "$SHELL_LOGIN" ] |
| 25 |
then |
| 26 |
if [ -z "$SSH_AGENT_PID" ] |
| 27 |
then |
| 28 |
# not yet running in ssh-agent |
| 29 |
ssh-agent /bin/bash |
| 30 |
r=$? |
| 31 |
echo Done with ssh-agent |
| 32 |
sleep 1 |
| 33 |
exit $r |
| 34 |
else |
| 35 |
# this is an ssh-agent subshell |
| 36 |
echo You may want to run ssh-add. |
