depending on your operating system, you will have to create or  activate
an rc script to start snort and any companion software that may need  to
be activated at boot time.

for ex., redhat users that use the snort rpm will have a ready to use rc
script. just get a look at  /etc/rc.d/init.d  and  see  if  there  is  a
snort/rc.snort/*snort* script there and activate it using the  chkconfig
command.

otherwise, you might need to create your own, custom, shell  script  and
put it in the right directory (if you have a SysV-style system) or  call
it from another rc script (bsd tradition but this is now fading with the
integration of rc.d scripts in FreeBSD and NetBSD).

ps: now that I finished writing my blurb(tm), I realized that my answers
    are unix-centric. though my windows knowledge is not *that*  strong,
    I   think   you   can   use    a    software    called    FireDaemon
    (http://www.firedaemon.com/) to do this.
ps: email me privately if you need an example to get you started. I have
    one home-cooked for openbsd.
