(In my best Peter Sellers/Inspector Clouseau voice) Ah, the ol' bash quotes
ploy... :-)
Thanks... but bad news (for me)
Now, the request times out, and snmpd crashes....
Timeout: No Response from localhost
$sudo service snmpd status
snmpd dead but pid file exists
That's version 5.3.2.2
I did try the above with snmpd 5.5 and it worked as expected... I'll see if
I can get an update for the systems I want to do this on.
Thanks very much for all your help with this.
If you're interested, I'll write up some information that would have helped
me immensely and you may include it in future man pages, or not. I found the
doc a bit unclear...
Cheers
