-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, James I can think of two ways to find snort on redhat. In a lot of the init scripts (/etc/init.d/) a function calles 'pidof' is used to find the pid of a named proces in order to send it signals... Check out the scripts for examples... Otherwise, if you have only one snort proces use the killall command (see: man killall)... for example, to tell inetd to reload it's config: killall -HUP inetd Hope this helps, Martijn
Snort starts just fine using my "startsnort" script but cat /var/run/snort_fxp0.pid does not pull a pid, as snort does not have one in /var/run . I've done some reading in man but cannot find an easy way to get the pid currently used by snort. I'm running RH 7.1. James _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
