"snort -D" should work just fine. You can just tack the "-D" on whatever command line you currently use. This will put it in daemon mode, and if everything is ok with the rest of your command line, it will continue to run in the background.

How exactly do I set snort to just run in the background, collecting unusual packets? I'm sure there must be a way. **************************************************************** Please Note The information in this E-mail message is legally privileged and confidential information intended only for the use of the individual(s) named above.
