Thanks for your help, I've run the snmpd daemon with those option and get
the following messages :

(/tmp)# /usr/local/sbin/snmpd -f -L -Ducd-snmp/pass_persist
NET-SNMP version 5.0.7
ucd-snmp/pass_persist:
open_persist_pipe(1,'/export/home/ncadmin/selfmon/bin/NSExtend.pl -c
/export/home/ncadmin/selfmon/conf/selfmonitor.conf -d 9 -l
/tmp/NSExtend.log 2>>/tmp/stderr_NSExtend.log')
ucd-snmp/pass_persist: persistpass-sending:
get
..1.3.6.1.4.1.776.102.3.1.1.3.1


So my script obvoiusly answers the the first PING\n request properly, in
the logs of my script I see the following

[2008/03/26 11:55:44] HELLO: NExtend.pl started
[2008/03/26 11:55:44] CORE: MAIN: Starting main loop

[2008/03/26 11:55:44] CORE: MAIN: NSExtend terminated cannot read from STDIN

And when I launche the script by hand with the exact same commande I can
keep on sending it get request successfully ...

Thanks all for your help
