net-snmp on HP-UX?

Hi,
firstly please apologise for my ignorance.
I have to monitor an Oracle Database and the OS HP-UX and want to use
SNMP to do so.
Since the standard SNMP that is delivered with HP-UX does not seem to
give me CPU/FileSystem/Memory details I started to configur ethe
NET-SNMP Agent following this Guide
<http://forums.cacti.net/about15353.html> .
that is obviously for some other Monitoring product but the steps to get
net-snmp running must be the same(?).
That all went fine and I ended up with  snmpd.conf like this:


########################################################################
###
# SECTION: Access Control Setup
#
#   This section defines who is allowed to talk to your running
#   snmp agent.
# rwcommunity: a SNMPv1/SNMPv2c read-write access community name
#   arguments:  community [default|hostname|network/bits] [oid]
rwcommunity  public
agentaddress tcp:161
syslocation Fleet
syscontact DanTse
inculdeAllDisks
proc httpd

I also edited the service file to contain the snmp tcp ports. 

The above readme ended at that stage and now comes my ignorance into
play: How do I start the bl***y thing? 
The FAQ on the net-snmp site is helpful, but it does not say how to do
that :-)

The net-snmp agent will obviously be the master agent(?) so I need to
kill the HP-UX Agent and then the only snmpd executable I found was in
/usr/local/sbin .
That starts fine and I can see it in the process list but when I try to
get to it from my monitoring station (IPSwitch Whats Up Gold) it just
times out (no firewall in between).

Once I have this done and can poll CPU/MEMORY etc. I start worrying
about integrating the Oracle SUB-AGENT but I first need to get this
going :-)

I have also no idea how these mailing list things work (is there no
forum for net-snmp?), if someone is so kind to help me, could you send
your answer to andreas.appelbaum@morse please?

Thanks for your thoughts!
Andi

 

P.S. The above mentioned guide say "to restart (or send the HUP signal)
the snmpd daemon whenever you modify snmpd.conf ! " - How does one do
that (there's the unix ignorance again  :-))
