This is what I have near the top of my ~/.profile [ -z "$SSH_AGENT_PID" ] && tty -s && exec ssh-agent bash --login That tests for the SSH_AGENT_PID environment variable, which ssh-agent creates. If it exists, ssh-agent is already running. It also tests for an interactive terminal. No need for an agent if the session is non-interactive. I then add RSA keys with this command: $ ssh-add ~/.ssh/*_rsa Adjust for other key types. Good luck and let us know what works for you.
