Re: how to modify the output of an smpset command

Hi,

yes, i'm extending the agent, sorry for not giving that information.

anyway... thanks for the information, i'll look for another way.

i'll put you into situation to see if i can actually do what i'm planning.

Example: i want to create folders from snmp.

let's say i run something like this:

***********************

snmpset -v 2c -c mykey localhost .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.255.8.1.9 s "create...folder1"

*****************************

and i want snmp to create the folder1 and return if it has been created 
or not.
So... knowing that snmpset can't return a personalised "OK" 
message........ could i perform a snmpset to store that 
"create...folder1" value somewhere in the snmp tree and then run a 
snmpget which performs de "mkdir" and returns "OK" or "NOK"?

could i do that with extended snmp and perl?
