I am running version 1:2.9.7.0-1 of your snort.x86_64 rpm package. Applying the following patch fixed the problem for me: --- snortd.orig 2015-01-29 03:56:04.800894066 +0000 +++ snortd 2015-01-29 03:56:26.381132577 +0000 @@ -140,6 +140,8 @@ ;; status) status snort + RETVAL=$? + exit $RETVAL ;; stats) TC=125 # Trailing context to grep Thank you for your attention and for your work producing the Snort tool.
