Reconnect subagent automatically

Hi,


I am using subagent mainly for "traps". So I am not using "agent_check_and_process". From what I understand, "agent_check_and_process" polls on to the connection between snmpd and subagent for any incoming request. My subagent is not serving any request at all. So I have skipped this function check at all.


So whenever master-agent (snmpd ) gets restarted, subagent isnt re-establishing the connection. My code snippet is something like this,


    while ( whatever )

    {

        wait_for_events_to_arrive_in_pipe(); // blocks on read-system call

    }


Currently I am hooking up netsnmp init script ( yes I am working on legacy system. No systemd ) to restart my subagent too. I am not too happy with this method. Is there an advisable way in doing so.



Regards,

Mukunth
