I have a program required by work installed on a Debian Wheezy box. Previously I was using Mac OS X (switch details irrelevant). I have an SSH keypair at ~/.ssh/id_rsa{.pub}. That keypair has a password on it.The program I run for work uses executes a loop. That loop invokes SSH multiple times. Each trip through, I'm asked for my password for the private key again. On OS X, this happened only once per boot, regardless of uptime.I want to get this to where I can input my ssh key password ONCE and have it accepted immediately every single time the key is invoked for the remainder of the machine's uptime (like how it's done on OS X).I am NOT using a gui. No xwin here. This is a server installation.Multiple searches have turned up only garbage introducing people to the concept of SSH keys. This is a bit more unique. Please point me at the right command so I can read the man page.
How can I get console ssh to NOT ask for my private key password every time?
