Re: Problem in explicit call to run_alarams function from "trap

Thanks for replying Sir,
I have one more query, my trap sending subagent will not call
"Net-SNMP 'receive()' routine as the event loop, or
'agent_check_and_process()' to handle incoming PDUs",
it receive infomation from third process convert that infomation into
snmp trap & send
those to snmpd, i.e flow is like this,

Application ------> Trap sending Subagent -----> snmpd --------->
(Information ( Convert info to trap & (
Net-snmp agent)
for trap) send it to snmpd )

So for my subagent will not call run_alarms any how that's why i
am calling run_alarms
explcitly before sending trap so that subagent will connect to main
agent(if Ping interval expires, this check is done in run_alarms
function),
so Is this is correct way to solve this riddle ? Please help me out
of this problem,
Or is there any API in net-snmp so as to take care above problem ?
Please help me, Thanks in adavance.
Regards
Bhushan
