Re: TrapHandle - Fork & Inform Ack

Hi,

I used perl to daemonize (with this fix it works ). I am using NET-SNMP 
version: 5.2.1.2 <http://5.2.1.2>

--- trapHandle.sh ---
#!/bin/sh

# do something something

 CMD="command to execute my program with arguments"
./daemonize.pl "$CMD"
exit 0
--- trapHandle.sh ---

--- daemonize.pl ---
#!/usr/bin/perl

umask 0;
open STDOUT, '>>trapHandle.log' 
open STDERR, '>>trapHandle.log' 
defined(my $pid = fork) or die "Error forking: $!";
exit if $pid;
setsid or die "Error starting new session: $!";

print "@ARGV";
exec @ARGV;
--- daemonize.pl ---

thanks for the help Thomas
