Package: snmpd Version: 5.1.2-6.2 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch *** Please type your report below this line ***
Hi In my network I restart all snmpd daemons every night for certain reasons. In some occasions snmpd does not restart properly, failing to report some values. This can be fixed by restarting the snmpd by hand, but it is annoying. Although not documented smnpd seems to reload its config (tracked with strace on my sarge machine). The command start-stop-daemon --stop --signal 1 --quiet --pidfile /var/run/snmpd.pid --exec /usr/sbin/snmpd will make snmpd reload its configs. Up to now reload is mapped to restart in the init script. It would be nice if this could be changed to a separate reload task. A patch to the init script version in unstable could be 43c43 < reload|force-reload) --- > restart|reload|force-reload) 61,65d60 < restart) < echo -n "Reloading network management services:" < start-stop-daemon --stop --signal 1 --quiet --pidfile /var/run/snmpd.pid \ < --exec /usr/sbin/snmpd < ;; Thanks Hendrik -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.27-3-686 Locale: LANG=en_GB.ISO-8859-15, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.ISO-8859-15 (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Versions of packages snmpd depends on: ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22sarge3 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libsensors3 1:2.9.1-1sarge3 library to read temperature/voltag ii libsnmp5 5.1.2-6.2 NET SNMP (Simple Network Managemen ii libwrap0 7.6.dbs-8 Wietse Venema's TCP wrappers libra -- no debconf information -- PGP ID 65C92061
