Try: /etc/init.d/snort status Looks like there may be an error in the docs. On Mar 19, 2013, at 12:12 PM, Mohammad MontazerI <mohamad_montazery () yahoo com> wrote:
Hello dear all. You are getting this error because Snort thinks you are trying to issue the word "status" as a bpf. You aren't giving Snort any arguments or commands, in fact "./snort status" doesn't do anything. "snort -i eth0 -c /path/to/snort.conf -A cmg" should start Snort and make it listen on port eth0. You should see it start up and give you alerts if you have traffic on eth0 but i exactly used the snort install guide commands. all commands worked fine except these part of the guide: Finally, if you have SNORT working in test mode (-T option), try starting SNORT with /etc/init.d/snort start (its not working) (you should get a running message if all is well). If there is a problem, check the output in /var/log/messages for additional details as to why snort failed to start. Also, you can check the status of snort by issuing the command below (while still in /etc/init.d): ./snort status <enter> (its not working) If it's working, you should see the output below: Checking for service snort running how can find out snort working properly?Ho dear all. i asked this question and dear waldo suggested to kill one of the snort instance. i did it but nothing happened. again same error! here again my command line after killing snort instance: ps aux | grep snort root 3858 0.0 0.0 4172 804 pts/0 S+ 13:21 0:00 grep --color=auto snort ./snort status Running in packet dump mode --== Initializing Snort ==-- Initializing Output Plugins!
