Re: Prevent Snort from starting a new instance if one already there

[Scott Nursten <scottn () s2s ltd uk>]

Snort writes a pid file to /var/run/snort_xxxx.pid where xxxx is the
interface name, so...

if [ ! -f "/var/run/snort_${if}.pid" ]; then
    snort -I ${if} /etc/snort/snort.${if}.conf
fi

Kind Regards,
