How does the master agent shut your subagent down? I know of no
protocol operation for this. Do you mean, perhaps, that your subagent is
crashing because it expects the master to still be waiting after two minutes?
SNMP operations are expected to be timely. Te exact meaning of
"timely" is debatable, but two minutes, i.e. four times the standard timeout
period is not debatable - it is highly untimely.
I would suggest you use three objects: trigger, state, and value. The
trigger can be set-only, and starts the operation. The status has values for
"uncalculated" (initial value only), "calculating", and "done". The value is
the result of the calculation or a default value.

There shouldn't be. Other folk want their info, too.
