Re^4: Help with Snort and File::Tail

Ahhh. I see that was very helpful. Thank you. Would this add to the end of an output file if at the end of my sub I just do like "print WRITEFILE xxxx"? When I ran the perl script on the same document twice (before I implemented this File::Tail stuff) the 2nd time it overwrote the first part in WRITEFILE. How can I insure every new alert gets added to the end of the output file rather than the most recent alert overwriting the older ones?

Perhaps you need to open the file in append mode: `open(my $fh, ">>", $filename) or die "Err opening $filename: $!";` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
