Hi Dave,
I already made a work around on my problem. I thank you very much for your
help. I really learned a lot.
What I did was read the psyslocation and psyscontact in
/var/net-snmp/snmpd.conf and update my snmpd.conf defined in SNMPCONFPATH
before my application starts again using the script.
Regards,
Ed
