[aklug] Exit status of scripts

I can extend the net-snmp daemon by having it run scripts.

Net-snmpd can use the exit value of the script, so for example:

- /bin/bash
- i=3D120
- exit $i

Would return "120" to snmpd when it ran the script. (When it was queried fo=
r that OID.)

The problem is that exit values are limited to 255, and I can see where you=
 could need values that exceed 255 returned to snmpd. There's got to be a =
way to have a script return larger values to snmpd, but I'm not finding it =
today.

Does anyone have ideas?
