The snmpd code already accepts the TERM signal to stop the daemon and shut down cleanly. If you think about it, you can't really use a signal to *start* the agent. If the agent process isn't running, how can you send a signal to it?! That's why Linux (and many other systems) use a start/stop script (typically /etc/rc.d/init.d/snmpd) Dave ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.
