[Snort-inline-users] [PATCH] fix restart function called after a SigHUP

[Victor J. <vi...@nk...>]

Hi List,

After reading this post in the list archives: kill -HUP snort_inline 
(http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=4035437&forum_id=32933) 
I decided to take a look a the sighup code. I proved to be very simple. I 
just copied the snort_inline specific pieces of code from CleanExit(int 
exit_val) to Restart(), both in snort.c

Attached is the patch against 2.1.3b.

It seems to work, i saw only one problem. With the stream4 preproc all states 
are flushed, basicly terminating all current connections... so i guess there 
needs to be some mechanism that makes sure the state table survives the 
restart. Any ideas? Will?

Regards,
Victor
