How to exit Snort for Windows correctly?

[Eder Fagundes da Silva <eder.fagundes () minasbrasil com br>]

Hello guys,

I am a Win32 Snort recent user and I am evaluating the software. Excuse my
ignorance but I didn´t get find the answer for it at the Snort
documentation.

I would like to know the correct form to exit snort on a DOS prompt. When I
run snort from a dos prompt it keeps executing and my prompt stay locked. So
I type a "Control+C" to exit its processing.

This way, when I run the command "snort -l ./log -b" it generate a binary
file with my log. But when I try to read it with a "snort -dv -r
snort-1213 () 1732 log", snort give the following message:

Log directory = log
TCPDUMP file reading mode.
Reading network traffic from "snort-1213 () 1732 log" file.
ERROR => unable to open file "snort-1213 () 1732 log" for readback:
snort-1213 () 1732 log: No such file or directory
Fatal Error, Quitting..

I guess it is because I am exiting the program by a wrong way and so it is
corrupting the output file.

Somebody could give me some help?

Thanks in advance
