SNMP incoming events

[Baps]

hi I am in the process of developing a home automation system using snmp relay boards and eventghost. I currently use snmp command line commands to send command to the relay board. Now the problem is the snmp board sends information back to eventghost to acknowledge the command. These messages show in the command prompt window and not in the eventghost events log. I would like to somehow convert these messages into events for use in eventghost.

So far i have tried command line option:
/c "for /f "usebackq delims=" %s in (`snmpget -v1 -c private 192.168.1.73 .1.3.6.1.4.1.358.1.1.2.1`) do c:\program files (x86)\eventghost\eventghost.exe -e SNMPGET %s"

In the events window the execute code but i do not get an SNMPGET event.

PS
I am using net-snmp library

Any assistance will be appreciated

You have to 'pipe' the response back to EG. Try something similar like

Code: Select all

#!/usr/bin/python
import subprocess
p = subprocess.Popen("date", stdout=subprocess.PIPE, shell=True)
(output, err) = p.communicate()
print "Command output : ", output

hey guys i got it sorted

/c "for /f "usebackq delims=" %s in (`snmpget -v1 -c private 192.168.1.73 .1.3.6.1.4.1.358.1.1.2.1`) do cd c:\program files (x86)\eventghost\ & eventghost.exe -e SNMPGET %s"

i will try the subprocess code as well thanks
