Hmm, is this a request for help, or a commentary? If it's a request for
help I'd suggest at least including a bit of your code, and perhaps using
the devel mailing list instead of the users mailing list.

Is there a reason why you need to do this and just adding the rules to a
file included by the standard ruleset and using SIGHUP isn't fast enough?
(ie: is having snort offline for a few hundred milliseconds really that
critical to your network?)
