Run this script from cron however often you like:
***BEGIN***
#!/bin/sh

RV=`pidof snort`

if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
        echo "Snort is down as of `date`"
        /opt/bin/snort -c /opt/etc/snort/snort.conf -D -l /var/log/snort/
fi
***END***

Adjust paths/options as necessary.  This has been working for me on a
slackware system for several months now.  Snort gets restarted, and you
get an email letting you know when it is restarted.
