variables. The user should never modify scripts in

/sbin/init.d . Instead the startup behavior should

be controlled by adjusting values in the appropriate conﬁguration script in

/etc/rc.config.d

Manual Startup

There are two ways to start the SNMP Agent manually. The ﬁrst way is to execute

snmpdm and then

start each subAgent. Separate process subAgents are started by invoking the particular subAgent execut-

ables.

The second and simplest way to start the SNMP Agent manually is to execute the

snmpd startup script

which will invoke the Master Agent and all subAgents who have been installed and designed to operate in

this paradigm. The

snmpd script is layered upon the V.4 startup paradigm and so makes use of the com-

ponent startup scripts in /sbin/init.d and conﬁguration scripts in

/etc/rc.config.d

. When

snmpd is invoked it starts /usr/sbin/snmpdm

, passes all its command line arguments to it and then

executes each script (S*) found in

/sbin/SnmpAgtStart.d

EXTERNAL INFLUENCES

Environment Variables

LANG determines the language in which messages appear. If LANG is not speciﬁed or is set to the empty

string, a default of "C" (see lang(5)) is used instead of LANG. If any internationalization variable contains

an invalid setting,

snmpdm behaves as if all internationalization variables are set to "C." See environ(5).

Many SNMP Agent log messages are only available in English.

International Code Set Support

Supports single-byte character code sets.
