Re: I have written a Linux shell script to detect missing rule files in your /etc/snort/snort.conf!

You do know that snort will tell you if it's missing rules when you run a
test, right?

snort -T -c <path to config file>

No reason to have a script check it for you..
Plus, if you use pulledpork then you just have (probably) snort.rules and
local.rules.
