Re: How to exit Snort for Windows correctly?

[John Sage <jsage () finchhaven com>]

Eder:

I too have recently put on the Win32 version of snort after using snort 
on Linux for a while; the Win32 version works well but I haven't needed 
to do what you are doing, yet..

That said, did you try giving the full path to the log file on the 
command line?

I would assume that your working directory is the snort directory.
