I don't understand. Are you worried that someone is going to hack your workstation, escalate privileges to root and retrieve you SSH keys off of ssh-agent's memory?

Then, sir, you are way more paranoid than I am; and I'm pretty paranoid. Respect :)

Thanks for the advice guys.

Just in case anyone wants to know how I did it, this worked for me:

    ssh-agent sh -c "ssh-add && knife ssh -p2020 -x root 'name:*' 'ls -a'"

I'll have a look at Keychain as that may be useful, however security
is important so I doubt we would want to keep the key available longer
than necessary!
