Snmptrapd is not receiving generated traps in centos 5.7

Hi,

I tried to run snmptrapd from my customized service in centos 5.7 machine... the command used to start snmptrapd is ....

/opt/snmpdemo/bin/snmptrapd -Le -c /opt/snmpdemo/etc/snmp/snmptrapd.conf -n -C -t -m ""

And tried to trigger a trap... Trap got triggered but snmptrapd didn't receive it.... All the libraries are linked correctly....

is my command correct ? is snmptrapd got started ? or is there any other issue ?

Regards,
Sharath.

SNMPTRAPFMT(8)						      System Manager's Manual						    SNMPTRAPFMT(8)

NAME
snmptrapfmt - Receive and log SNMP trap messages from a trap handler. SYNOPSIS
snmptrapfmt [-d num] [-D] [-f cfgfile] DESCRIPTION
Snmptrapfmt receives SNMP trap data through a local pipe. The trap data is written to this pipe by a SNMP trap handler which is called by snmptrapd (configuration is done in /etc/snmp/snmptrapd.conf) during the installation if this package. Snmptrapfmt formats the received trap data according to the specifications in the configuration file /etc/snmp/snmptrapfmt.conf (see this file for the syntax). The output of the snmptrapfmt application may be written to a log file or forwarded to the syslog daemon. The option -d 1 should be specified to enable tracing. Trace information is then written to the file /var/tmp/snmptrapfmt.trc. If the option -f cfgfile is given, the output of the daemon is configured via the mentioned configuration file. If this option is not spec- ified, a default output format is used. If the option -D is given, the the program will daemonize into the background. The syntax of the configuration file is explained in /etc/snmp/snmptrapfmt.conf ! FILES
/etc/init.d/snmptrapfmt is the start/stop script. /etc/snmp/snmptrapfmt.conf is the configuration file. /var/run/snmptrapfmt.pid is the PID file. /etc/snmp/snmptrapd.conf is the configuration file of the snmptrapd daemon, which calls the trap handler snmptrapfmthdlr. /usr/sbin/snmptrapfmt is the executable of the application. /usr/sbin/snmptrapfmthdlr is the executable of the trap handler. /var/run/snmptrapfmt.p is the communication pipe between the trap handler snmptrapfmthdlr and the formatter snmptrapfmt. /var/tmp/snmptrapfmt.trc is the trace file if the option -d is specified. /var/log/snmptrapfmt.log is the log file as specified in the configuration file.
