traphandle does not work

[Irving Barría]

Hi all!   Thank you so much Jeff for your prompt reply, it was very useful.   Now I have this other problem: I used traphandle to call a simple program (of those that just say “Hello Worl”) called test and located at /usr, compiled using gcc. It runs perfectly from the command line but when I write traphandle  default /usr/test and a trap is caught by snmptrad there in NO OUTPUT from my program. Previously I posted this problem when running Perl scripts and I thought it was my installation but now I’ve seen that it’s because my traphandler is not even being called. Could somebody help?   Here is my previous post for reference:     =============================== One more question =======================================   I have installed net-SNMP 5.1.4 on a RHEL AS 3 system with kernel version 2.4.24 and I can generate traps and also receive them in the same machine through the loopback interface.   Previously, I successfully tested traptoemail in a Windows machine. I just had to install ActiveState’s ActivePERL and everything worked fine. Now that I’m testing on Linux I’ve found some problems. What I would like to know is how to install Perl correctly. Here is what I typed during the installation:   # ./configure --with-perl-modules --enable-embedded-perl --enable-shared # make # make install # cd perl # perl Makefile.PL # make # make install   I don’t know why traptoemail (neither any other Perl script) does not work!  For testing, I wrote a very simple Perl program like this:   #!/usr/local/bin/perl print "This is a test";   And modified my snmptrapd.conf (located at /usr/local/etc/snmp) as follows:   traphandle default usr/bin/perl /usr/local/bin/Hello   And ran my test again (forcing snmptrapd to use the recently created configuration file):   # snmptrapd -f –Lo –c /usr/local/etc/snmp/snmptrad.conf   And I can see the trap in the Terminal but no output from my Perl script. I have to mention that I after a long time testing I ended up installing ActivePERL for Linux but nothing got better. Could somebody help?   Thanks in advance for your time and attention.   Regards, IB
