newbie: rsync and ssh and password

[peter lindsay]

Hi,

I've got the following command that works fine; it prompt for a password
then runs okay:

"rsync -az -e ssh myserver.ac.uk:/var/lib/mysql
/www/rsynctagsassets/databases"

I wanted to run it as a script so put it into a file called rsync.sh and
chmod +x 'd it.

It runs as a script okay but still prompts for a password.

I read "man ssh" and the bit about "BatchMode" and "yes" but didn't really
follow it.

Is there quick way to implement my script please anyone ?

Many thanks,

Pete Lindsay
