changing snmpd.conf file

[Jim Galliher]

Is there a way to reread the snmpd.conf file after modifying it without rebooting?

to stop:
/sbin/init.d/SnmpHpunix stop
/sbin/init.d/SnmpMaster stop

to start:
/sbin/init.d/SnmpHpunix start
/sbin/init.d/SnmpMaster start

Hi Jim,

DCE is right.

From http://docs.hp.com/en/B2355-90692/snmpd.1M.html


Manual Startup
There are two ways to start the SNMP Agent manually. The first way is to execute snmpdm and then start each subAgent. Separate process subAgents are started by invoking the particular subAgent executables.

The second and simplest way to start the SNMP Agent manually is to execute the snmpd startup script which will invoke the Master Agent and all subAgents who have been installed and designed to operate in this paradigm. The snmpd script is layered upon the V.4 startup paradigm and so makes use of the component startup scripts in /sbin/init.d and configuration scripts in /etc/rc.config.d. When snmpd is invoked it starts /usr/sbin/snmpdm, passes all its command line arguments to it and then executes each script (S*) found in /sbin/SnmpAgtStart.d.


Best regards,
Fabio

do
/sbin/init.d/SnmpMaster st$way
sleep 3
ps -ef | grep snmp
