Hi All...
I made a small patch to keychain, so that it creates an additional
pid file named ~/ssh-agent.cmd
The only difference between this and the previous version is that the file
created is ~/ssh-agent.cmd instead of ~/ssh-agent.bat so it is a bit less
obtrusive. I couldn't do a ~/.ssh-agent-cmd file because the call mechanism
in cmd.exe handles it differently (uses a different shell instead of the
same shell).
This allows non-cygwin ssh-aware programs (such as unison) to take
advantage of the keychain functionality. The new file can be used
from a windows command script by
@echo off
call bash --login /dev/null
call C:\Cygwin\home\kmoerder\ssh-agent.cmd
unison-2.9.1
The call to bash invokes the keychain in the .profile to get the keys ready
then the call to ssh-agent.cmd defines the env variables for non-cygwin
ssh-aware programs (such as unison).
Thanks,
...Karl
