Hi All,

I was wondering, lets assume I have two computers, A & B, and from the desktop of computer A, I have a person click on a icon which runs a shell script which contains the following:

ssh <someuser>@<some_ipaddr> sudo /etc/init.d/apache stop (or start)

how can I make ssh NOT prompt the user for a password (but authentication via some other method, etc) and execute the command in question? I did read up on ssh-add and ssh-agent, but i'm not getting the hang of it?
