This helper is really designed for tables where the data is held within the agent itself - not read in from an external subsystem (e.g. dpkg). Can I suggest that you consider using a different table helper? Try running mib2c -c mib2c.table_data.conf -S cache=1 hrSWInstalledTable This will generate a framework for an internal cached copy of an external table - reloaded whenever the cache is deemed "too old". You can then put the dpkg call into the "load" routine. That's the framework I'm adopting for the on-going HostRes/UCD rewrites, and which I intend to use when I get to the hrSWInstalledTable Dave ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
