RE: A SIGHUP signal just kills snmpd daemon instead of reloading theconfig.

Hi, Joan,

I just tried it and it didn't work... what's the version of net-snmp you used?

On Linux tried:
    kill -1 <pid>
    kill -SIGHUP <pid>
    kill -s SIGHUP <pid>
    kill -s 1 <pid>
    kill -hup <pid>

Thanks,
Feng

kill -hup pid, where pid = the snmpd process id.

worked when I tried it.

Hi,

This is Feng. I am poking net-snmp software 5.4 on x86 Linux (ubuntu 7.4) and trying to see how it can reloads the new configuration (such as the updated community string). Googled some articles, I thought SIGHUP signal needs to be sent to snmpd process. I also took a look at the code and it seems that on Linux it installs the signal handler for SIGHUP to set a reconfig flag. But for me, snmpd always simply died after I "kill -s SIGHUP <snmpd_pid>".

Snmpd was started with the following command line options:
"
-u 0 -Ls5 -Lf /dev/null -p <PID_FILE_FULL_PATH> -c <SNMP_CONFIG_FILE_FULL_PATH> -M <MIB_DIRS>"
"

Thanks for any feedback here.
Feng
