However, I can't parse "snort -V"... snort -V dumps to the screen and I can't grep or awk it. I can't even dump snort -V to a file with "snort -V > file". Any suggestions on how to grab the version number as part of a command line function?
Good question. Snort -V prints to STDERR, not STDOUT [0]. Try: snort -V 2> yourfile snort -V 2>&1 | grep Version BTW, the above should work under both UNIX and Windows (cmd.exe anyway, and assuming you have a Windows 'grep' in your path [1]).
