Yes, but you could write a Perl script that loads the SNMP library once, and then does your every-five-minutes stuff in an endless loop. > Nah, I usually do it quick and dirty: > snmpget host public 2.2.1.10.2 2.2.1.16.2 | \ > [...] For me, snmpget has significant startup overhead as well, because it reads and parses a default set of MIB files. Since you use a numeric OID, you could prevent that by setting the environment variable MIBS to the empty string when calling snmpget. Possibly you'd have to fully qualify the OID then (.1.3.6.1.2.2.1.10.2 2.2.1.16.2). -- Simon. -- Unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Help mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archive http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/rrd-users WebAdmin http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/lsg2.cgi
