        Assuming you are running the Unix version of snort, you
can do 'kill -s USR1 PID' where PID is the process id of snort
(find it with 'ps xa | grep snort' or failing that maybe 'ps -ef
| grep snort' (maybe even just 'pidof snort' depending on your
OS)).  This will tell snort to dump out some statistics to either
the console or if you have it running in daemon mode, it will
dump the info to syslog.

        Hopefully that helps!
