Re: killing ssh-agent processes

I have lots of ssh-agent processes cluttering up process space. Not taking
many resources, but annoying nonetheless.

How can I determine which of them can be killed w/o any adverse
consequences? Right now my hunch is "just don't kill the one mentioned in
your environment variables."

Also, is there any way to determine which application starts them?

Finally, why are they accumulating like that? Something like an app that
starts them is shirking responsibility for killing them?

TIA,

Have a look at keychain. http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/keychain/

It lets you start up one agent for the entire system and add/revmove
keys with command line arguments. No need to have scripts starting up
their own copies of ssh-agent.
