R. Benjamin Kessler had the correct answer. I do use Linux and the problem with your suggestion is that the value given by show interfaces is not the same value as what the snmpget gives. If you have ever cleared the counters on the interface then its definitely not the same. This particular OID is a read only variable and can only be cleared via a reboot.
