It's very easy to run Snort with daemontools. The only important aspect
is _not_to_background_Snort_ (i.e. the -D option). This and the
daemontools page[1] ought to be enough to get you going.

My /service/snort/run file looks (approx) like:

#! /bin/sh
exec 2>&1
exec snort --your-ordinary-options-but-not-the-daemon-option

My /service/snort/log/run file looks (approx) like:

#! /bin/sh
exec multilog t ./main
