mechanism for sending periodic traps?

Hi,

I am attempting to extend net-snmp as an application monitoring tool,
and am running into a problem:

Is there a simple way to get net-snmp to send dynamically configured
periodic traps? In other words, for any registered variable in the
agent, I want to be able to have the variable sent to a trap sink at a
configurable time interval, and I want to trigger/de-trigger which
variables get sent while the agent is running. I am only interested in
doing this for explicitly specified variables (e.g. via SNMP_MSG_GET,
not *_GETNEXT).

First, has this been done already? If so, is it called something else,
and I'm just missing it?

If not, can anyone suggest or recommend a way to get this information,
short of tricking the rest of the agent code that it is receiving a
SNMP_MSG_GET message from the network, then intercepting the response
and sending it as a trap? This seems like a horribly messy solution to
something I think I'd find in a monitoring tool.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated! :-) Please cc me in
replies...apparently I'm having subscription problems. :-\

Thanks very much!
