In any case I have notes about the implementation: 1. it assumes that it runs only on windows (it looks like this should be generic code) 2. it assumes that ssh-agent will be always installed in a specific path, it should rely on PATH instead 3: Windows has its own system for global env variables, so why not use that? So instead of doing some process lookups you simply get $Env:SSH_AUTH_SOCK" (well, I use powershell... but the bat version is I think %SSH_AUTH_SOCK%) Peter
