        HOW TO ADD A SNMP EXEC (EXTEND) :
        edit /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf
        add a line like this :
        
        extend yesterday /bin/date --date=yesterday
        (This should output the current date -1 day)
        
        Then restart your snmpd daemon (service snmpd restart)
        
        Call this plugin like this to check this snmp extend :
        %prog --host localhost --snmp-version 2c --community public --extend-name yesterday
        This should output :
        Mon Mar 28 11:12:24 CEST 2011
        (well, you won't get this specific date, but output will be similar...)
