Re: rxvt dialog at shutdown suggests failure to exit due to ssh-agent?
Thank you for the suggestion.

If *all* shells source that line, then you have the problem that the
first one to exit will kill ssh-agent, and maybe you don't want that.
You could put something a bit more sophisticated in your .bash_profile
(or whatever) to identify a "master" shell, depending on your
requirements.
Unfortunately, this is exactly what keychain is for -
to start the agent in one shell and then share access
from many shells. I start up and shut down many rxvt/bash
shells during the day without having to provide my
passphrase. Stopping the agent with keychain is easy by
just typing "keychain -k". I forget to do that just
about every time.
This is not a big problem. I just thought someone
might know how to "strongly detach" the process while
at the same time allowing stdin interaction for the
passphrase.
