.snmp_pid(4)                        CLIX                        .snmp_pid(4)



  NAME

    .snmp_pid - Active SNMP agent process ID lock file

  DESCRIPTION

    The /etc/.snmp_pid file contains the SNMP agent's process ID.  A write
    file lock is placed on the file by the SNMP agent to indicate that an
    agent is active and no other agent may execute.  The process ID allows the
    snmpconfig utility to easily locate the SNMP agent so any changes to the
    current configuration can be communicated.  This file is automatically
    updated by the SNMP agent as required.

    The format for the entries in the /etc/.snmp_pid file is as follows:

       Lock_PID:nnn

    The nnn parameter is the process ID of the active SNMP agent.

  EXAMPLES

    The following example of a .snmp_pid file shows that the current SNMP
    agent has a PID of 2175.

    Lock_PID:2175
