Tim,
all,

how would it be possible to have both the syslogging and the logging to
alert active?

I think that if you use -s it goes to wherever your syslog specifies,
so it doesn't care about the -l.  If you use just the -l, it will go
to whatever directory you specify and get the filename out of your
snort.conf file.

I am using Snort 1.8 and encountered the following phenomenon: if I
start snort with -s and -l <logdir> at the same time, an alert file
won't be created. However, if I omit the -s, everything is fine.

Any ideas why?

thanks
