I don't think so. I am using ssh-agent but that means that I shouldn't
have to enter any password. I don't have to enter a password when I run
the script from a terminal. The environment variables SSH_AUTH_SOCK and
SSH_AGENT_PID are set in the script (read from ~/.ssh-agent which is
generated by keychain).
