Re: Snort terminates abnormally

[Alejandro Cabrera Obed <aco1967 () gmail com>]

Searching under /var/log, the unique fatal error I see is this:

FATAL ERROR: Failed to Lock PID File "/var/run//snort_eth0.pid" for PID
"2216"

But I can't match this log withe the moment of termination....I will do
this.
