When I update my rules I run snort -T to verify all my rules are GOOD.
But there is no way for me to automate this process so that I can read
the ERROR message to STDOUT to a file. If the snort -T does return
ERROR then I want to reverse back to old rules.
HOw can I feedin the output from snort -T or snort -c
/etc/snort/snort.conf -v to STD OUTPUT to a file.
What do you need to do with the output from Snort, that can't be done by
checking the return code:
snort >snort.out 2>&1 -T -c /etc/snort/snort.conf
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
echo "rules OK"
...
else
echo "rules broken"
cat <snort.out
...
fi
Any ideas....
thanks

Alex.
