I keep the following in my .bashrc and use the `agent' command to
initialize the ssh-agent.

# Allow `agent' to start the ssh-agent usefully on all running
# bash instances. SIGQUIT was chosen because it is ignored by
# bash by default, even in non-interactive shells, so that a
# shell not trapping it by some chance won't be terminated.
if test -f ~/.ssh/agent; then
. ~/.ssh/agent
fi
function agent {
killall -q ssh-agent
ssh-agent > ~/.ssh/agent
killall -QUIT bash >/dev/null 2>&1
ssh-add ~/.ssh/identity
ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_dsa
}
trap -- '. ~/.ssh/agent' SIGQUIT
