Thomas, Could you please elaborate on this ? Where do I need to use sudo ? Thanks Thomas Anders <[email protected]> wrote: Deepak Sulakhe wrote: > We have installed, net-snmp on Linux platform. We have an application which provides Graphical User Interface(GUI) to configure snmpd.conf file.

Even if it executes "pkill -SIGHUP -U snmpd" command, snmpd service does not re-initialises itself because the owner of snmpd service is "root". > Is there any way by which GUI based application (whose owner is not root) can re-initialise snmpd service ? "sudo" can solve problems like these. +Thomas -- Thomas Anders (thomas.anders at blue-cable.de) --------------------------------- Access over 1 million songs - Yahoo!
