I was hoping you wouldn't ask that. In theory, yes, that should work. However, since the agent exists when shutting down, not a whole lot of work has gone into testing and working out the kinks of snmp_shutdown. We've always relied on the OS to clean up memory on exit, so the shutdown routine probably doesn't free everything. I think, i fyou look at the code, it is actually ifdef'd out because of a double-free that nobody has tracked down yet. Depending on your configuration and OS, it might work for you. If not, and you don't mind getting dirty with code, fire up a debugger and dig into the code. It would be great if someone had the time to clean up that code and send us some patches. -- Robert Story; NET-SNMP Junkie <http://www.net-snmp.org/> <irc://irc.freenode.net/#net-snmp> Archive: <http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum=net-snmp-coders> You are lost in a twisty maze of little standards, all different. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IT Product Guide on ITManagersJournal Use IT products in your business?
