The Net-SNMP tools have "snmptrap" and and "snmpinform" command-line
tools that are useful for hand-crafting traps:

http://net-snmp.sourceforge.net/docs/man/

Getting this to work is basically the "the same story" as when setting
up mails on services UP/DOWN (long time since I tinkered with it) ...
Except one needs to deal with proper OID e.t.c. for the Trap/Inform.
 
How to run scripts on events is certainly in the Argus docs somewhere.
