What is the proper syntax and usage for procfix?

Hello,

I'm trying to configure snmpd to automatically restart apache if the number
of processes falls below 2.

My specs:

[root@dhcp243-141 snmp]# cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.1 (Tikanga)
[root@dhcp243-141 snmp]# snmpd --version

NET-SNMP version:  5.3.1
Web:               http://www.net-snmp.org/
Email:             [email protected]


Lines I've added to /etc/snmpd.conf:

access notConfigGroup "" any noauth exact mib2 none none
proc httpd 9 2
#procfix httpd /etc/init.d/httpd restart
procfix httpd /bin/sh /etc/init.d/httpd restart

I've tested and retested this config and it doesn't appear to work. Killing
the apache processes doesn't appear to trigger any events.

This is my testing method:

[root@dhcp243-141 log]# snmpwalk -v 1 -c public localhost | grep http | grep
RunPath
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWRunPath.7068 = STRING: "/usr/sbin/httpd"
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWRunPath.7070 = STRING: "/usr/sbin/httpd"
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWRunPath.7071 = STRING: "/usr/sbin/httpd"
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWRunPath.7072 = STRING: "/usr/sbin/httpd"
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWRunPath.7073 = STRING: "/usr/sbin/httpd"
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWRunPath.7074 = STRING: "/usr/sbin/httpd"
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWRunPath.7075 = STRING: "/usr/sbin/httpd"
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWRunPath.7076 = STRING: "/usr/sbin/httpd"
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWRunPath.7077 = STRING: "/usr/sbin/httpd"
[root@dhcp243-141 log]#

[root@dhcp243-141 snmp]# for i in `ps aux | grep httpd | grep -v grep | grep
-v tail | awk '{print $2}'`; do kill -9 $i ; done;
[root@dhcp243-141 snmp]# service httpd status
httpd dead but pid file exists

I read in a previous email to the list that snmpd takes a while to poll the
process table, but I have waited a couple hours without any change. Have I
missed something in my configs that is relevant to using procfix?

Regards,
James
