2011-05-27Reorder files to alphabetize. Update titles to be more conducive to quick scans.Cameron McEfee
The posts have been re-dated to not only alphabetize them within their categories, but also to make them easier to find with their directory. Files marked 2008 are active post files. Files marked 2009 are outdated or are redirects to newer files. Files have been renamed to match their title for easier updating.

2010-08-16Revised grep checkMoritz Beber
Changed the grep check from simply ignoring its own entry, i.e., grep -v grep to checking that the process running under the SSH_AGENT_PID is actually an ssh-agent.
2010-08-11Removed some code redundancies.Moritz Beber
2010-08-11Removed inconsistencies.Moritz Beber
The automatic launching now first checks for an already running agent before it launches its own one. Launching is now consistent across windows due to the use of SSH_ENV again. The return code of ssh-add is now specifically checked for returncode 2 which indicates that the socket is broken.
2010-08-11Straightened out some flaws in the behaviour.Moritz Beber
The idea is to have a single ssh-agent instance that holds all the keys. Checking and spawning of ssh-agents should be consistent now.
2010-08-11fixed bug with SSH_AGENT_PIDMoritz Beber
The variable SSH_AGENT_PID might still be set, so it should not be used for testing. Resorted to a ps test instead.
2010-08-11more careful ssh-agent startingMoritz Beber
I modified the script for automatic ssh-agent starting to only start a new agent if one isn't running already and to only add the keys from standard file locations only if the agent doesn't already contain any identities. The reasoning for me was that every time I open a new bash window or fire up 'screen', I would be asked for the passphrase.
