[Fab-user] Automating Jobs Using Fabric/Cron

[Worker Bee]

Hello All;

I was wondering if anyone has any advice about automating jobs in Fabric via cron...

I understand that the suggested way to use Fabric is with passwordless ssh but, in our environement, we do not allow that.  So, running ssh-agent provides a way to get around this, the problem is that if the session is ended, ssh-agent is also terminated and we have authentication issues.

I was just wondering if anyone might have any ideas or creative solutions for running jobs via cron in an env where ssh kesy are required.

Thanks!
