it's been awhile since I did this, but you should look into generating 
ssh-keygen to have the DSA/RSA key to the target so that you don't have 
to worry about password authentication since it's already received the 
key exchange between the service.  I did this just ssh running a 
specific cron jobs, but try "man ssh-keygen"...  ** gene
