ssh-cron

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.

To install the latest version of ssh-cron in your favorite operating system just copy the ssh-cron installation command from above and paste it into terminal. It will download and install the latest version of ssh-cron 2026 package in your OS.
