I'm running Red Hat 7.3 and starting snmpd like this:

  /usr/sbin/snmpd -s -l /dev/null -P /var/run/snmpd -a

It starts and runs correctly. When I do ps -ef, I see:

  root      7044     1  0 Oct27 ?     00:00:15 /usr/sbin/snmpd -s -l
/dev/null -P /var/run/snmpd -a

All good so far.

Now I want to restart snmpd (because I've made some changes in
snmpd.conf, say). But when I issue kill -9 7044, snmpd stays firmly
in place. If I say:

  snmpd stop
or
  snmp restart

I see:

  Stopping snmpd          [FAILED]

and ps -ef yields the same result as before. And I can tell that it's
the same copy of snmpd running because:

1. Same pid.
2. Same options to snmpd, where I'd changed them in the file
../rc.d/init.d/snmpd.
3. It even has yesterday's date stamp.

What am I doing wrong? What can I do to kill this daemon? Thanks!
