ssh-agent

Spawn an SSH Agent process. An SSH Agent holds SSH keys decrypted in memory until removed or the process is killed. See also ssh-add, which can add and manage keys held by an SSH Agent.

  • Start an SSH Agent for the current shell:

eval $(ssh-agent)

  • Kill the currently running agent:

ssh-agent -k
