Non interactive connections are easy as soon as you understand the use
of ssh-agent.
1) use ssh-keygen to generate identity
2) move public part of identity to remote system
3) run ssh-agent
4) use ssh-add to add identity to agent
5) make sure you set the env var SSH_AUTH_SOCK to the correct value in
   your crontab eg like: env SSH_AUTH_SOCK=<value> scp from to
Don't use passphrase less identities.
