Re: execvp problem

[John Sage <jsage () finchhaven com>]

Richard et al:

Is this maybe a path error?

man 3 execvp says:

"...[the execv and] execvp functions provide an array of pointers to 
null-terminated strings that represent the argument list to the new 
program. The first argument, by convention, should point to the file 
name associated with the file being executed."

or something like that...

Try starting snort by specifying the full path to the executable.
