Mark> One would use the public key based authentication scheme. From the ssh(1) manual page:
I am using public key authentication; my c-l.net account has authorized_keys set up so I can ssh in without using my password (which I've now forgotten).
But for this to work, don't I have to run ssh-agent/ssh-add? I can't do that from my cron job.
Am I missing something?
