There are three command switches that Snort uses for the Service activation. /SERVICE /INSTALL /SERVICE /UNINSTALL /SERVICE /SHOW Explanation of Service options: CAUTION: All the switches MUST be used from the folder that Snort is located in. If Snort is located in C:\Snort then navigate to that folder and type the command from there. This will install Snort as a service with the specified parameters: "snort /SERVICE /INSTALL -de -c <FULL PATH>\snort.conf -l <FULL PATH>\logs" This will remove snort as a service: "snort /SERVICE /UNINSTALL" This will display the parameters: "snort /SERVICES /SHOW
From the Start Menu go to Programs / Administrative Tools and Open the
Services applet in Administrative Tools. Select Snort from the services window, right click on Snort, choose Properties, and under startup type select Automatic (this will allow snort to be active when there is no one logged on). Note: If you want to stop or start the service from a command prompt type: "net stop snort" "net start snort" Note: If you want to change the parameters then you must: Take Snort down: net stop snort snort /SERVICE /UNINSTALL snort /SERVICE /INSTALL < NEW PARAMETERS > Bring Snort back up: net start snort A Big THANK YOU to Chris Ried for this...
