Chapter 9, Developing SMUX peers for SNMP agents
Executing an SMUX peer

Executing an SMUX peer

To execute the peer and start it running as root: 

  1. Ensure that there is an entry in /etc/snmpd.peers for the peer.

  2. Start the peer running in background with the command:

    foosmuxd

    replacing the string ``foo'' with the identifying string you chose for your peer. To run the peer in foreground with debugging switched on, type:

    foosmuxd -v

When the peer is running in foreground, you can kill it by hitting the <Del> key. To kill a peer running in background use the kill command.
