Richard et al: Is this maybe a path error? man 3 execvp says:"...[the execv and] execvp functions provide an array of pointers to null-terminated strings that represent the argument list to the new program. The first argument, by convention, should point to the file name associated with the file being executed."
or something like that... /* he thinks it's a wild shot in the dark, but what the hey.. */ Try starting snort by specifying the full path to the executable. - John Erek Adams wrote:

How do I fix this?Find out what it wants. Look at the init script and see what snort is trying to call. Note that some of your commands from one Linux distro to another may be different, or work differently.
