This works perfectly in Mint, Fedora, Debian and Alma; This is loaded from .bash_profile for all logins. <code bash .sshrc> # User specific aliases and functions # Add a personal key to the keyring… Host=$(hostname -s | tr 'A-Z' 'a-z') SSH_ENV=“${HOME}/.ssh/agent-${Host}”

function start_agent {

  echo "Initialising new SSH agent..."
  /usr/bin/ssh-agent | sed 's/^echo/#echo/' > "${SSH_ENV}"
  echo succeeded
  chmod 600 "${SSH_ENV}"
  . "${SSH_ENV}" > /dev/null
  /usr/bin/ssh-add ;

}

# Source SSH settings, if applicable

if [ -f “${SSH_ENV}” ]; then

  . "${SSH_ENV}" > /dev/null
  #ps ${SSH_AGENT_PID} doesn't work under cywgin
  ps -ef | grep ${SSH_AGENT_PID} | grep ssh-agent$ > /dev/null || {
      start_agent;
  }

else

  start_agent;
