That's assuming that you gave it a command when you started it. If you
look earlier in the file, it specifies:
"If a commandline is given, this is executed as a subprocess of the
agent. When the command dies, so does the agent."
If you don't specify a command when you start ssh-agent, it will just
run until you kill it.
