What do you mean by "restarts the snmpd"?
Do you mean kill off the currently running agent and start a fresh
one?   'Cos I don't think that will work - if nothing else, it's the
parent of the script that's trying to kill it.  I'm not sure that
patricide is safe!

Why don't you just signal to the currently running agent to re-read
its configuration?
The agent is already set up to do that - simply send it a HUP signal.
