That's already handled by the agentx subagent framework. See the directive 'agentXPingInterval' in snmpd.conf(5) > so my question is calling "run_alarms" explicitly from subagent code will > be safe or not ? It should be OK, since it's part of the normal operation of an agent or subagent. If you use the Net-SNMP 'receive()' routine as the event loop, or call 'agent_check_and_process()' to handle incoming PDUs, then these already call 'run_alarms()' anyway. If there's nothing due to be run, then run_alarms() will return without doing anything, so there shouldn't be any problem in calling it at other times too. It might waste a little bit of processing time, but that should be all. Dave ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
