Description: cron daemon allowing ssh keys with passphrases to be used
ssh-cron acts like cron, but utilizes ssh-agent to obtain ssh key
passphrases. Thus it allows scheduled commands to run on remote systems
without requiring the ssh key passphrase to be stored in a clear-text
file, or resorting to ssh keys without passphrases.
