Question: Can snort send alerts to the mysql database without writing an

Solutions that did not work:
a) When I run the above command line without -A none and -K none I get
alerts sent to ids database
i.e./usr/local/bin/snort -Dq -dev -o  -c /usr/local/etc/snort/snort.conf
-i mi0 -u user -g group

b) When I run with the -A none  I get the pcap files but no alerts sent
to ids database.

c) -Y option in FLoP /* I don't have FLoP installed */

Solution that works:
    /usr/local/bin/snort -Dq -de -o  -c /usr/local/etc/snort/snort.conf
-i mi0 -u user -g group
    sleep 2
    rm /var/log/snort/alert

The previous snort administrator had this in his snort.sh file.
No alert file is produced and logs are sent to the mysql database.

Question: Is there a switch that will not produce an alert file and
still send alerts to
the mysql database?
Question: Does the commercial version of snort software have this Denial
of Service bug?
The denial of service is a result of running out of disk space on the
sensor.
This happened  after a month when snort first was deployed a few years ago.


Thank you for your help,
Raymond
