+Administration
+==============
+
+Processes
+---------
+
+**SNMPTRAP** runs as a single (python) process inside the container.  You can find it using the following commands:
+
+Inside the container
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   `ps -ef | grep snmptrap.py | grep -v grep`
+
+
+Outside the container
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   docker exec -it <container name> `ps -ef | grep snmptrap.py | grep -v grep`
+
+
+Actions
+-------
+
+The **SNMPTRAP** container can be monitored for status by running the command:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    `bin/snmptrapd.sh status`
+
+Output from this command will be two-fold.  First will be the textual response:
+
+    `Stopping snmptrap...  Stopped.`
+
+Also available is the return code of the command:
+
+    0 - if command executed successfully
+    1 - if the command failed, and/or the process is not running
