reading a new rule.

["samwun" <samwun () hgcbroadband com>]

Dear all,
 
I've just created a new rule for snort 2.0, but I don't how to run snort
commandline to execute this rule.
Here is the step I did:
 
1.      added the name of the rule in the
/usr/local/snort.2.0.0/etc/snort.conf.
2.      execute snort command: snort -c
/usr/local/snort.2.0.o/etc/snort.conf
 
By the way, is there any way to test the current snort rule? Eg.
Simulate attacks.
 
Thanks
Sam
