Indeed it works almost fine.
I have edit my /root/.bashrc like the example:
keychain id_rsa
[[ -f $HOME/.keychain/$HOSTNAME-sh ]] && \
source $HOME/.keychain/$HOSTNAME-sh
If i then run bash it asks for the passfrase and all goes wel.
But i run scp and other ssh commando's from cron, putting the commands
from .bashrc into a shell script does not seems to work, i'm a bit stuck
here.
TIA
