man snort
-T parameter:
Quote:
-T Snort will start up in self-test mode, checking all the supplied
command line switches and rules files that are handed to it and
indicating that everything is ready to proceed. This is a good
switch to use if daemon mode is going to be used, it verifies
that the Snort configuration that is about to be used is valid
and won't fail at run time. Note, Snort looks for either
/etc/snort.conf or ./snort.conf. If your config lives else-
where, use the -c option to specify a valid config-file.
