Possibly. I can't remember whether we ever came to a firm decision. But it would be easy enough to rename things, as long as we do so before 5.3 is released. What do people think? > 2) might be a good idea to update mteTriggerTable to use > these new methods as a proof of concept/example. I've certainly got ideas along those lines. But it seemed sensible to start with something new (the DisMan Schedule MIB), rather than re-working an existing implementation. I'm also in the middle of discussions with the DisMan people about possible changes to the Event MIB anyway. > 3) Does it only work via the callback transport? Not sure. There's probably no difficulty in using it to query a remote agent (using any appropriate transport). I'm not sure what the implications would be about using it to talk to the same agent - particularly from within a handler routine. > 4) what does it do if used in a sub-agent? Pass. As you've probably realised, this is basically the same code as used in the mteTriggerTable - but pulled out into a separate module (and with a somewhat more flexible interface). It's by no means fully tested. I'm trying to be good, and committing code as early as possible, rather than dropping the usual Shield bombshells!
