[syslog-ng]sending snmptraps w/ snmptrap

[Aaron Jackson]

Why don't you use a template with the "program" destination?

destination traps { program("/usr/local/sbin/sendtrap.sh" =20
template('$HOST' '$FACILITY' '$PRIORITY' ... '$MSG'); }

You just have to parse the command line arguments properly.
