Ok. I think I figured out the problem. But I still do not have a
solution for it. Here's what I think the problem is:
When the script is run as a windows service, the user that's calling the
script is SYSTEM. Inside the script is a call to ssh client with the
required parameters. I pass it the absolute path of the id_rsa file. The
issue seems to be that user SYSTEM is not the owner of id_rsa file so it
is being asked for a passphrase. On the contrary, if I add the batch
script to startup programs, then no passphrase is asked and I am logged
in right away. The problem here is that the command prompt window stays
on the screen. This is something I wanted to avoid to begin with.
I haven't gotten around to start the server in debug mode since I
haven't found a suitable time to bring down the ssh server.
Thanks
