does anybody know, how a bash shell script looks, which automatically

the rsync call should be:
rsync -avz -e ssh /home/johndoe/data/repository
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/johndoe/junk
the call causes a password question.
Is ist possible to automate that by a cron? If yes how should the script look to
automatically enter the password?
Have you considered using key authentication in ssh ?
AFAIK it is a standard way of making ssh session available to cron scripts. The remote
site may assign single command to session suthenticated with the
the key.
