RE: sending signals to the agent

[Nathaniel M. <rd_...@el...>]

Thanks Dave

	What I really want to do is to get my modules to re-run there
init_MY_MODULE or a function called by a signal.
Since I need some information from an other daemon running on my =
system. I
use a shared memory controlled by semaphores for now.  But I've got =
some
memory leaks in there.  And since the changes don't come to often I =
Just
want to signal the snmpd that a change as occurred, and then it will it =
self
fetch the needed changes.

	That is why I want to know if there is a way to implement user
defined signals and/or if the signal -HUP will init the modules.  And =
also
if there is a chance to get some weird behaviours from the agent if =
signals
come often.

	Thanks again.

	kill -HUP

should tell the agent to re-read the config files.   That's not quite
the same as a full re-initialisation, but it goes a reasonable way
towards that goal.
