An added benefit of this approach is that this also makes the init scripts work when you run multiple instances of snort. Here's what the start function should look like: start() { checkconfig || return 1 ebegin "Starting snort" start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec /usr/bin/snort --pidfile {$PIDFILE} \ -- ${SNORT_OPTS} >/dev/null 2>&1 eend $? } vanquirius@gentoo.org 2006-02-17 08:22:23 0000 Thanks, added in 2.4.3-r2.
