Jamie's approach isn't truly general: if anything happens to that ssh-agent, then you're up the creek without a paddle.
Little bit OT, but did this *ever* happen to you?
I don't know. I do know that the last time I started X, I had
ssh-agent xmonad
in my .vncrc/xstartup which had the result that when xmonad restarted, the ssh-agent disappeared. The SshAgent module allows me to rectify the situation without restarting my vncserver.
Odd. I would expect xmonad to restart with an exec() syscall (execProcess?), which shouldn't cause ssh-agent to exit. -- brandon s. allbery [solaris,freebsd,perl,pugs,haskell] allbery@kf8nh.com system administrator [openafs,heimdal,too many hats] allbery@ece.cmu.edu electrical and computer engineering, carnegie mellon university KF8NH
