Snort init script still not working...

Yeah, I thought I'd nailed this, but there is still an issue with my Slackware machine's Snort startup/shutdown script. For some reason, it'll start fine, will not shut down cleanly and will error out. The script will not start on its own and requires manual intervention (dunno why). I'll have to add some debugging code to it so that I can track the issue. It must be some flag that I'm using when implementing 'ps', because that's the only difference between the two scripts (the OpenBSD and Slackware).

I wish I had more time (and willpower) to give this the attention that it needs. I can always visit the Snort mailing list and post my concerns, but I'd like to be able to nail this one myself. :)
