make ssh-add conditional?
...knocked back before - I
didn't find it while googling. Anyway, I'd like ssh-add to have an option to
add a key only if it is not already present in ssh-agent. I currently use a
shell function to conditionally add a key, then login to a remote host:
go ()
{
ssh-add -L | grep -q 'id_rsa_mykey$';
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
echo "my key already present";
else
ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa_mykey;
fi;
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
ssh myhost;
else
echo "Oopsie";
fi
}
It works well enough, but it seems inelegant - I'd prefer if...
