The script you posted is not valid ksh either. How much shell scripting
have you done before? You seem to be trying to run before you can walk.
That, or your attention to detail is dangerously poor. Until these core
problem are sorted out, you're in for a world of pain.

Break your script down to the basics. Does the line you think is setting
a variable actually set the variable? Does the line the you think is
capturing the output of a command actually capture output? Put in a buch
of echo statement to check the contents of your variables as they get
set and changed.

Most error message mean exactly what they say. Assuming the error
message is coming from snmpget, ask yourself: What is snmpget looking
for that it can't find?
