snmptrapd suddenly failing to start
RHEL 9.2
I've been working on a script to get snmpv3 engineID's, update the snmptrad.conf and restart snmptrapd.
I've been stopping and starting it successfully from the CLI without issue, but when I do it from my script it seems to have "broken" it and I can't get it to start. I was running the script in an SSH session.
Here's the stop/start section of the script:
echo "$(date '+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S') Stopping snmptrapd" >> $myLog systemctl stop snmptrapd echo "$(date '+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S') copying tmp file to snmptrad.conf" >> $myLog /bin/cp $snmpPath/$MyFile $snmpPath/$confFile echo "$(date '+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S') Starting snmptrapd" >> $myLog systemctl start snmptrapd echo "$(date '+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S') Ending GetEngineID" >> $myLog echo '-----------------------------' >> $myLog
Here's the error when trying to start it:
snmptrapd.service - Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Trap Daemon. Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/snmptrapd.service; enabled; preset: disabled) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Thu 2024-05-02 13:37:56 EDT; 7min ago Process: 4600 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/snmptrapd $OPTIONS -f (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) Main PID: 4600 (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) CPU: 47ms May 02 13:37:56 rheldesk systemd[1]: Starting Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Trap Daemon....

May 02 13:37:56 rheldesk systemd[1]: Failed to start Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Trap Daemon..
Anyone have any insight on what the issue is?
