I've put this script together to updated a folder of forked Github repositories on a daily basis. It runs fine if I call it from a prompt, but I can' figure out how to make it utilize my id\_rsa reliably when it is run as a cron job. the `eval 'ssh-agent'` is an attempt to do just that, but it doesn't seen to have any positive affect.

```
#!/bin/sh
LOGPATH=log.txt
eval 'ssh-agent'
cd /path/to/update/folder
echo "-------START UPDATE-------">$LOGPATH
echo "Updating repos:">>$LOGPATH
date "+%F %T">>$LOGPATH
COUNT=1
find . -maxdepth 1 -type d | while read dir; do
cd "$dir"
LEN=$"${#dir}"
if [ $LEN != "1" ]
    then
    echo "*********">>$LOGPATH
    echo "$COUNT. " ${dir:2}>>$LOGPATH
    /usr/local/bin/git pull upstream master>>$LOGPATH 2>> $LOGPATH
    /usr/local/bin/git push origin master>>$LOGPATH 2>> $LOGPATH
    let COUNT=COUNT+1
fi
cd "$OLDPWD"
done
echo "-------END UPDATE-------">>$LOGPATH
exit 0

```

This is probably a horribly inefficient way to go about the process in general, but it works and I don't ever see it. If I could get it to use my creds, I would be elated.
