Bingo! That's what I'm after.
I too am using ssh-agent and ssh-add.
I have added ssh-agent to my bash profile so it's automatically ran. From

Think you could maybe post the lines in your bash_profile to achieve that?
I've tried everything from what I showed you at the top of the thread to
just simply adding:
eval $(ssh-agent)
ssh-add
To my bashrc file. Also what's the difference between storing something
like this in your bash_profile vs bashrc?
Thanks
