Hallo hal,

my first reflex was suggesting to

$ killall ssh-agent && ssh-agent [...] &

but a look at the manpage showed me, that you could also

$ echo $SSH_AGENT_PID

to get the currently used one and then kill only the others.

But before killing anything, to get a hint what to debug (i.e. their
parent process resp. their closest common ancestor), I'd do something
like

$ ps axjf | grep -B5 -A0 ssh-[a-z]gent

A grain of salt (you may need it) and libre Grüße,

Florian
