Newbie: Snort and external programs

[Lars Norman Søndergaard <Lars.Sondergaard () intello dk>]

All,

I am currently playing around with the Win32 port of Snort to get a feel for
it. Also I am trying to figure out the admin stuff needed (consolidating
logs, automating rule updates and so on).

My question is: Is it possible to have snort call an external program when
an alert is raised?

I realize that I can simply track changes to the alert file and call the app
whenever the file changes.

Thanks,
Lars Søndergaard
