awk can do a little more to eliminate the second grep:
setenv SSH_AUTH_SOCK `sockstat | grep "^${USER} " | awk '/ssh-agent/ { print $6 }'`
The anchor before and space after the username in the grep are to make
it an exact match and not a subset ("jsm" versus "jsmith"). Although I
don't know what sockstat does with a username longer than eight
characters.

It is. Accuracy and precision are the goal.
