This doesn't work for your cron job, which isn't a child of the ssh-agent session, and doesn't know the socket address. I'd recommend a forced command, running without a password. The alternative is to use a set of smeaphore files to indicate the location of the ssh-agent socket. This is a situation well covered in the O'Reilly SSH book. Peace. -- Karsten M.
