We have installed, net-snmp on Linux platform. We have an application which
provides Graphical User Interface(GUI) to configure snmpd.conf file. Once user
performs configuration, this GUI based application sends command "pkill -SIGHUP
-U root snmpd" so that snmpd service re-initialises itself with new values
specified in snmpd.conf file.
The problem start here, GUI based application is owned by user who is not root
hence this application would not be able to execute above mentioned command.
Even if it executes "pkill -SIGHUP -U <user_name> snmpd" command, snmpd
service does not re-initialises itself because the owner of snmpd service is
"root".
Is there any way by which GUI based application (whose owner is not root) can
re-initialise snmpd service ?
