RE: Gracefully restart an agent

I don't think it matters what I'm SETting -

I looked further into the versionRestartAgent, and found that the hook
it uses to do the restart isn't run on a Win32 platform (without
cygwin)...

in "agent\mibgroup\util_funcs.c" -

restart_hook() only does actual work if SIGALRM is defined (not so on
a win32 build), which in turn calls restart_doit(), which only does
work if HAVE_EXECV is defined (not so on a win32 build)

Any way around this? (again, like i said in all the messages, this is
on a WIN32 build)

I SET the string objects from an agent using skeleton code from the
MIB2C script & create a watcher for them..

I also noticed that some of the alarms I set during initialization which
send out notifications aren't resent upon SETting versionRestartAgent.

My impression was that setting versionRestartAgent to 1 would cause a
soft-restart - pretty much a CTRL+C & load the daemon again, without
having to do anything at the console... Is this incorrect?

Thanks
