[AGENT++] Agent++Win32 Questions

[Dave White]

Hello,

 

I would like to use Agent++ as a replacement for snmp.exe in a Windows
XP environment but I have a few questions while working with the Win32
code.  I am using Visual C++ .NET version 7.1 with the following code
base:

    Agent++Win32_1.0a

    AgentX++v1.4.8a

    Agent++v3.5.15a

    Snmp++v3.2.10

 

1.  The Agent++ web site and the Agent++Win32 API README say that Snmp++
and Agent++ have to be compiled with _NO_THREADS defined.  However,
agentX++win32master requires AgentX++, and AgentX++ will not compile
because it (in agentx_threads.h) requires that threads are enabled in
Agent++.  What problems are caused from enabling threads in Snmp++ and
Agent++?

 

2.  With threads enabled, I can build the agentX++win32master.exe file
but it is not yet a direct replacement for snmp.exe which is a Windows
Service.  I can run the executable as a stand-alone program, but it does
not have support built into it for a Windows Service.  I cannot see
anything in the source code that calls any of the Windows Service
functions.  Consequently, when I follow the README instructions that
say:

 

    1. Stop the SNMP Service.

    2. Backup the existing agent 'snmp.exe' ...

    3. Copy the 'agentx++win32master.exe' ...

    4. Start the SNMP service again.  That's all.

 

I find that the "service" will be terminated after 30 seconds because it
is not a real service.  What am I missing?  Or are there plans to add
the code required to interact with the service manager so it behaves as
any other Windows service?

 

Thank you,

Dave White
