   $ man snmpd.conf
       :
   DisMan Event MIB
      :
       monitor [OPTIONS] NAME EXPRESSION
              defines  a  MIB  object to monitor....
       OPTIONS
              There  are various options to control the behaviour of the moni-
              tored expression....
              -e EVENT
                     specifies the event to be invoked when this monitor entry
                     is triggered.

       setEvent ENAME [-I] OID = VALUE
              defines  a  set event named ENAME, assigning the (integer) VALUE
              to the specified OID.  This can be triggered from a given  moni-
              tor entry by specifying the option -e ENAME (see above).

How long are you waiting?
The monitor command you list will check the status of the prEfforFlag
every 60 seconds  (-r 60).   So depending exactly when the last check
was made, you might have to wait up to a minute after killing the
monitored process for the agent to spot the problem.
