Hello,

 Is it possible to have a shell script modify the contents of a user
 defined OID that is setup in snmpd.conf?
 
 I would like to have a cron event run a shell script and that script
 modify the OID values so that a remote SNMP server can monitor the
 changes using SNMP gets and mgets.  I do not want to use SNMP traps.
 
 Thanks for any feedback!

I don't know if snmpd can do this, I use net-snmpd (in ports) to pass
user OID values.

Regards,

 No.

 You would have to restart snmpd, there is no way to change it on runtime.

 But AgentX support might solve this in the future (you still need an shell - 
 AgentX wrapper).

If restarting snmpd is acceptable as an interim measure, you can use
something like:

oid 1.3.6.1.4.1.30155.42.3.1 name testStringValue read-only string $STRING

and start snmpd with 'snmpd -D STRING=somevalue'.
