If you are running a copy in the background or from a demon, us ethe options
-o 'BatchMode=yes'
which will make sure it won't try and prompt. A copy which needs a human response will just fail.
If you are using ssh-agent then rather than running it from each login and relying on inheretence of environment variables to pass the location of the agent around, put the output of ssh-agent into a file
ssh-agent -s > "$agent_file"
And then in your .bashrc, or wherever, load the settings
. "$agent_file"
This way all your shells will have access to the agent, including for instance if you connect in from a windows box. Also your scripts can source the same file and have access to keys in the agent.
