When the command dies, so does the agent. Hi Florian, I'm not sure what you're saying. Are you saying that the command at the end of the ssh-agent line involves dbus? If that's the case, well, that's the user's choice. If you're saying that dbus is integrated in some other way, all I can tell you is that my ssh-agent is part of ssh version "OpenSSH_7.5p1", "LibreSSL 2.5.5", on Void Linux, and neither the ssh, ssh-agent, nor sshd man pages contains the string "dbus" in any character case. The command: strings /usr/bin/ssh-agent | grep -i dbus Produces no output. In other words, if you meant anything other than the user running a dbus command through ssh-agent, the dbus dependency is a Debian thing.
