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
