Interesting. Running snort_special like this: /usr/local/bin/snort_special -R special -T works fine, but when I use the args in a startup script, it fails. The args are -i xl0 -o -u root -g snort -R special -l /var/log/snort/special -D. When I tail /var/log/messages I can see that it's still create the pidfile as snort_xl0.pid even though I'm changing it on the commandline in the ARGS variable. I guess I'll have to edit the source and create a new instance to do what I want.....
