Easy and works like a charm....

The only thing to remember is _not_ to background Snort (i.e. -D). The
test option (-T) is not too clever either...

The ''run'' file can be as simple as 

#!/bin/sh
exec snort

But you to ought to handle the output in some way...


In my script I'm connecting stderr to stdout and sends stdout to
multilog.

#!/bin/sh
exec 2>&1
exec snort yada yada

The log run file looks like:
#! /bin/sh
exec /usr/local/bin/multilog t ./main
