you have a c program which outputs something to somewhere? as long as you have that, you should be able to use the standard net-snmp daemon to update it's values without much problem. You can easily change your snmpd.conf to run any command you want and provide the result as one, or a series of, MIB's. e.g "exec /usr/local/bin/script" within snmpd.conf will cause that to be executed each time the relevant MIB is read, i blieve the oid range will be under .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021
