Determine snmpd status

Hello,

Assuming I have no community string configured (and so cannot use
'snmpwalk' and other similar binaries), when I turn the snmp daemon on, is
there a way to determine it has done initialization and ready for queries?

I found that checking if the log file exists gives a good indication (if it
was created already, snmpd is ready), but then there's a problem when I
turn snmpd on, off and then on again. Since the log file isn't deleted when
snmpd is turned off, it's gonna be there in the second time even before I
turn snmpd on.

A short sleep() after turning snmpd on can do the trick, but obviously
that's a bad practice.

Anything else I can do to get a good indication?

Thanks.
