    Is-it possible with a ssh-agent (with a ssh-add too) started at boot
    time to allow crontab to perform remote commands :

    # ssh <my_remote_host> <my_custom_command>

    Is-it a secure way to perform remote commands ? If yes, how to
    configure that ? If no, is there another secure way to do that ?
