Re: RE: Snort not logging to the /var/log/snort/alert file

[Michael Sconzo <msconzo () tamu edu>]

Rather then using the command 'touch /var/log/snort/alert' to put
it back, just leave it gone and -HUP the snort process.  Also, if
you are using logrotate be sure to add the copytruncate option
before HUP'ing snort.
