• Is .profile even the right place for this?

  The book suggests this code goes into your personal profile (e.g., .profile or .bash_profile). Shouldn't this code go into .bashrc or something like that instead? If you working from a graphical workstation (part of the argument for it) seems like this needs to go into .bashrc or similar so it is runs each time a new window is open. Is this not correct?

  This hack didn't work for me as written. Some explanation of how the shell scripts are supposed to work would help us 'relative' n00by's.

  i think the line
  if ! kill -O $SSH_AGENT_PID > /dev/null 2> then
  
  should be
  if ! kill -O $SSH_AGENT_PID > /dev/null 2>&1 then
