I run ssh-agent like this: /usr/bin/ssh-agent -t 12h -s If I run ssh-add will it reset the timeout period back to 12h for that key, if it was already known to ssh-agent? I ask because I've looked at the documentation and performed exhaustive google searches for the answer and I've found no mention of this issue anywhere. Thank you.
