Bug Description

The init script for snmpd should check the $SNMPDRUN and $TRAPDRUN variables before returning the status

Example:
------------

SNMPDRUN=yes
TRAPDRUN=no

root@hydralisk:~# service snmpd status
 * snmpd is running
 * snmptrapd is not running

snmptrapd should not return status if TRAPDRUN=no and vice versa

Thanks for taking the time to submit this bug report.

While I can see your suggestion making sense, I don't know of any other init jobs which behave that way. I will certainly leave the bug open in case a maintainer sees it differently.

Hi Serge,

I reported this bug because the behavior confuses Puppet. Puppet will continually try to start the service because it sees that snmtrapd is not running. I do not consider this a bug in puppet but rather in the init script.

Thanks for leaving the ticket open. :)

Cheers,
William
