Description

Mikhail Zabaluev 2002-05-02 02:06:32 MSD

Once an ssh-agent has been launched per /etc/X11/profile.d/ssh-agent.sh, it is never killed explicitly. As the Xsession process is terminated, there is no way to get the PID of the ssh-agent.

There are no need to kill \&quot;ssh-agent -u\&quot;.
When you leave console, just execute \&quot;ssh-add -D\&quot;.

The only downside left is that $SSH_AGENT_PID is lost with the first server shutdown. Anyway, it has little added utility.
