Re: sending an IPC for incoming snmpset commands

Thanks Dave for such prompt reply.  In my application I have the snmpd and my main program runing.  I make use of text file to exchange the value of OID between my main program and snmpd.  

when snmp manager issue a get, snmpd reads the contents from this text file, and write to it with 'sets'.  I use several modules to extend my snmp agent, and I would like to use IPC to notify my application program when and OID value has changed due to the snmp manager.
 
Thanks!

Regardless of the OID that is being set?
Why?  What are you trying to do here?

No - that's too early in the processing.
It wouldn't be able to distinguish between SET and GET* requests.


Maybe if you explained a bit about what you are trying to achieve,
then we could advise you how best to proceed.
