ssh - My Setup

This is the shell script I use as my alias for ssh:

#!/bin/bash
ssh-agent
ssh-add
case $1 in
    marge* ) SSHCOLOR=1 ;;
    bluebones.net ) SSHCOLOR=1 ;;
    barney* ) SSHCOLOR=7 ;;
    lisa* ) SSHCOLOR=6 ;;
    homer* ) SSHCOLOR=3 ;;
    * ) SSHCOLOR=5 ;;
esac
if [ $1 ] ; then
    tput setab $SSHCOLOR
    \ssh $*
    tput setab 9
else
    echo “Usage: $0 [HOST]”
fi

The background colour shows me at a glance which machine I am on.
