RE: sending traps from embedded AgentX subagent

Thanks for the response Dave,

Very sorry...The EGP neighbor loss *IS* the cold start trap I mistakenly
referred to that I want to get from the subagent. I used EGP trap so I could
tell it apart from the master cold start trap easily.
The send_easy_trap(5, 0) call is made after the init_xxx() calls and the
agent processing loop is started. (The processing loop for GET/SET is
running on its own thread at that point.)

Regards,
Dave Arthur

In this code, the trap is only sent when the subagent has finished running.
(And probably after the connection to the master agent has been deleted),
This would explain why the EGP neighbour loss trap is not sent out.

But where in this code is the coldStart trap to be generated?
There's no mention of it at all, as far as I can see.
