Using SNMP to run remote commands
so i just discovered it was possible to run remote scripts using snmp.

problem is, one can't pass arguments to the remote script from the client machine.

for instance, the code below will execute the script called CallDropper on sgt66.blahblah.com.

Code:
snmpwalk -v2c -c A@GTF42 sgt66.blahblah.com NET-SNMP-EXTEND-MIB::nsExtendOutputFull.\"CallDropper\"

But what if I want to pass a couple of arguments to CallDropper? Is there a way to do this?

startsrv

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

NAME

       startsrv - invoke ttysrv for a particular host.

SYNOPSIS

       startsrv host

DESCRIPTION

       startsrv  fires	up  ttysrv  for  a  given  host.  It  will  kill  any  already	running  instance  for	that  host, then read /etc/remote-
       tty/opt/<host>.srv for any options to pass to ttysrv (defaulting to those that set 9600,8n1), /etc/remote-tty/prot/<host>.sock for the per-
       missions the socket should be set to (default 660), /etc/remote-tty/owner/<host>.sock for the owner of the socket (default rttymgr:dialout)
       and /etc/remote-tty/prot/<host>.log for the permissions of the logfile (default 640).

       The device node used is /etc/remote-tty/dev/<host>. This will normally be a symlink to the correct file in /dev.

       ttysrv is configured to log to /var/log/remote-tty/<host>/<host>, with a  pidfile  at  /var/run/remote-tty/pid/<host>  and  the	socket	at
       /var/run/remote-tty/sock/<host>.

SEE ALSO

       remote-tty(1), ttysrv(8).
