Don't copy the examples.  Use the examples only to understand
what exactly is happening, write your own application using
the knowledge you gained.

"which does not work".  What doesn't work?  Could it be that
you don't have the program "snmpwalk" for instance?

Wait a minute:

Does "snmpwalk -Ov -v 1 127.0.0.1 public 2.2.1.10.2" work at all ?

The OID is 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.10
Shorthand: 2.2.1.10

Shorthand can be used from the application *I* use.

2.2.1.10.2 is an OID *and* an instance.  Most snmpwalk
applications don't work this way.

Specify the instance thus use "snmpget".

You do use an absolute path for "rrdtool" yet you don't do so for
"snmpwalk" (or: snmpget).  Why not?
