Re: stopping snort

Sounds like you can do this with a very small shell script, or perl if you 
prefer.

if [ `kill -0 $SNORT_PID` ]; then
  if [ `du -k $LOG_FILE | cut -f1` > $MAX_SIZE ]; then
    stop snort
    email me
  fi
fi

Suitable for a cron job to run, maybe, once per 1/2 hour or so.

Cheers - Erick
