One thing that you might want to check is your command line options.  If
you have a -D in the startup script, then try and fire off the same
commandline via a shell, but w/o the -D.  If it works just fine, I'd guess
it was a $PATH or permissions issue.

As for a script, Google on 'snortd' and you should find a copy of a Linux
based script, IIRC.  You can also check the FAQ [0], as there's one listed
there that 'will keep snort running' that you could copy and modify as
needed.

Cheers!
