[XZ] I tried 'ps' to 'grep' the process status (with long name), it does have a valid pid. If I put this process in a service script, and then check the service status, it says:MyOwnCustomizedProcess (pid 2947) is running...
But on the same machine(RHEL5 x86_64), if I put "proc MyOwnCustomizedProcess" in snmpd.conf, it always says the process not running. 
Is it possible that the snmpd.conf parser limits the name length?
