I believe [1] on a HUP this is already done. In particular a HUP should
already immediately save to persistent storage, run all the remove/free
functions, and then reload all config (persistent included).
I even believe [2] that the monitor/disman-event-mib code already deals
with the separation between snmpset based config and snmpd.conf based
config by setting the StorageType column appropriately. The remove/free
functions actually need to clear everything [3] since both the
persistent storage and normal config should reload everything again.
Footnotes:
[1] Read: I haven't actually checked.
[2] See note [1]. Ha.
[3] of course there are issues with volatile data being freed because
it is temporary but not written to persistent storage so it's a
actually a bit more tricky.
[4] Aren't footnotes fun?
