I've kind of 'dummied' this up a bit to protect the innocent, but it gives
you an idea of a system I have in place to report in a specific format.  Run
it from cron.

#!/bin/ksh

SNMPWALK=/usr/OV/bin/snmpwalk
WHERE=/usr/local/EOMreports
SNMPTRAP=/usr/OV/bin/snmptrap

gogetaix()

    $SNMPWALK $1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.4.4 > $$.out
    if [ $? > 0 ]; then
        echo "snmpwalk error!"
    fi
