Simply change the numeric OID listed in the exec line.
Replace '2021' with your PEN, and '50' with the location
you want this output to appear in your private subtree.

The choice of where to put this is totally up to you - the agent
doesn't care.   They're all just numbers anyway!

One thing you may wish to consider is to use
   "extend  .1.3.6.1.3.1.xxxx.yyyy...  shelltest /bin/sh /tmp/shtext"
       instead

One of the problems with the "exec" command is that the output
of this "relocatable" form doesn't actually form a valid MIB structure
(and it's therefore been dropped from the most recent release line).
The "extend" directive is similar, but has a newer, more complete,
more flexible, and above all *legal* output structure.
   The same structure is also used for both

      extend     {name}  {script}
and
      extend {OID}  {name}  {script}

so you can re-use the NET-SNMP-EXTEND-MIB definitions
for your relocated output (simply by changing the root of
the tree, and renaming the MIB).
