I guess all you need is the option "-N". You still need a log
directory for snort but it won't be used. But all alerts will
be send to the database via the output plugin.

Hrrmm.. I use -N and -l (that's L) with unified output, and i still get logs to the 'alert' file.

I haven't looked into it, but it always had me wondering why?
