Re: Need help with SNMP script

To make the existing code work you need to skip the lines that don't have enough elements for the split to return for your comparisons:

while (<SNMP>) {
    next if /^#|^\s*$/;
...
[download]

or try this to use a regular expression instead;

while (<DATA>) {
    print "$1\n" if /^snmpmanager\s+(\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+)\s+;\s+communi
+tyname/;
}

__DATA__
#test file
#example:
snmpmanager 10.52.37.99 ; communityname public

Hi Lotus1, thanks for the quick response. We have another systems using the same script and it is running fine, so I would rather not make changes. I read elsewhere on this site that the warning "Use of uninitialized value in string eq" is just that, a warning. I guess I am just confused and don't understand what the expression is trying to do because I really don't understand the code. I don't know anything about code. I had to google just to write the original post.	[reply]

Sounds to me like the trap.cfg file must be different on the other machine. You could get ride of the comment lines (lines that start with '#'). Compare the cfg files for differences. <SNMP> is reading a line from the file in $naspath. The line gets split into the @token array and the elements compared with strings.	[reply]
