[Snort-users] Why does Snort restart?

Subject: [Snort-users] Why does Snort restart?

Hi there,
 
I installed Snort on my system and started it with this command : "snort -i 
eth1" and the traffic which it processes was about 4 Mbit/sec but during the 
night ,when traffic is not very much ,it gets restarted and will start  with 
this command: "/usr/sbin/snort -A fast -b -d -D -i eth1 -u snort -g snort -c 
/etc/snort/snort.conf -l /var/log/snort"
as you can see it restarts with some predefined switches and will capture 
packets (instead of eth1) on eth0 by default.
 
Would you please guide me what is the reason of getting restarted of Snort and 
on the other hand where the restart command is tuned in Snort's config files?
 
Best Regards.
 
M.S.
