OK.
Starting/Stopping that daemon is best handled by something other than "exec".
You don't say what O/S you're using - but if this is a Unix-like
system, then I'd suggest you write a simple "/etc/init.d/videodaemon"
script to start/stop the daemon.
   That would give you much more flexible control than a purely
SNMP-based approach.

Use the existing startup scripts as a template.

That's different from actually starting the problem.

Have a look at the 'proc' directive (in snmpd.conf(5)).
This will report whether a particular process is running or not.
