RE: FW: /etc/init.d/snort file, Snort 1.9.1

Hi John

Thanks a lot for your suggestion. I tried that option already and it didn't
work. I have found an article saying that this error comes from using a
Windows made file on a Linux machine. This is what I did. I copied the file
in Windows from Internet and then copied it to Linux. Windows apparently
puts extra carriage returns that you can't see. The utility dos2unix changes
the file so it can be used by Linux. The file worked fine after that.

Regards

Elvira

For giggles, try editing /etc/rc.d/init.d/snort_[whatever] to read:

#!/bin/sh <------
# $Id: S99snort,v 1.1 2001/12/18 22:14:37 cazz Exp $
# /etc/init.d/snort : start or stop the SNORT Intrusion Database System
<snip.


rather than:

#!/bin/bash <------
# $Id: S99snort,v 1.1 2001/12/18 22:14:37 cazz Exp $
# /etc/init.d/snort : start or stop the SNORT Intrusion Database System
