Thank you for your interest in the topic :)
Yes, it is necessary for me, because sometimes snmpd may crash or hang up and 
be unresponsive. It should not happen, but every software may have some hidden 
bugs, and it happened to me in the past. In that case it may be needed to 
restart snmpd daemon. Also i need to report every possible susspension and log 
it.
There may be also many different lower level problems which Net-SNMP mechanism 
can't repair.

So, I really would like to focus on possible solutions how to check connection 
(for example how to properly send only one ping). 
Does anyone know how to do it?  

Best regards,
