Install the Net-SNMP tools (normally available in your Linux distribution's standard package collection) using your favourite package manager.

Read "man snmptrap".

Decide the SNMP version you want to use (version 1, 2c or 3).

Pick the correct OID (either use a standard OID that means what you're trying to "say" or get your own OID and write a MIB file to describe the structure and meaning of your trap messages). Information about OIDs and MIBs is available at:

http://www.mibdepot.com/

The standard MIBS can be found under vendor "IETF".
See also the FAQ section on that site.

If you want to send SNMP Traps manually or from a script, the above-mentioned "snmptrap" command is what you need.

If you want to send trap messages programmatically, be aware that there are SNMP function libraries available for many programming languages. If you're programming in C, get the Net-SNMP source package. Read the programming documentation in it, or just examine the source code of the snmptrap tool.

If you're programming in Java e.g. for BEA Weblogic server, it already contains SNMP functionality: just read the BEA documentation to find out how to use it.
