How to restart snmpd on Opensolaris after changing snmpd.conf?

Question

I need to restart snmpd after updating /etc/snmp/conf/snmpd.conf, so it recognizes the changes. I'm using Net-SNMP 5.4.2 on Opensolaris 10. I've tried these two:

snmpd restart
kill -9 pid

The kill command kills it and it fires back up under a new pid, but the new snmpd.conf changes do not seem to be recognized. I'm adding "disk /" to snmpd.conf, and testing to see what filesystems are mounted by:

snmpwalk -v 1 -c public localhost .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.9.1.2

But this shows nothing, so I'm under the impression my addition of disk / is not taking. Am I restarting snmpd correctly?

Solution

This restarts snmpd:

svcadm restart net-snmp

By looking at

svcs -a | grep snmp

I realized the service is named net-snmp and not snmp, snmpd, or snmpdx. Opensolaris and snmp are both new to me.

I've tried kill -HUP on the snmpd pid, but the process still stays running, and with the same pid.

I'm able to do svcadm disable snmp, but the process still runs for /usr/sbin/snmpd, so that doesn't seem to work either. Thanks though.

My hint was nice, but the service name was another one: you found the correct solution. Great!
