[mod-security-users] include snort rules

[Peter VE <xx...@im...>]

Hi,

I wrote a script that pulls down multiple sets of snort rules, and
converts specific rulefiles to SecFilters.
The httpd.conf file contains an include statement for every converted
ruleset file.
When I update the files with newer files, will mod_security
automatically use the newer file ? Or does Apache need a restart ?
If it automatically uses the newer file, what happens at the very time
the file gets overwritten ? Will that cause a locking issue, or will
mod_security all of a sudden - just for a millisecond or so - run
without the included filters ?

thanks
