upgrade forced after git pull?

[mgaulton]

is there a commandline force install method?

git pull ; install.pl --force

The install.pl script should overwrite any existing fwsnort installation on your system. So, just run install.pl after git pull - no --force option should be needed.

I was hoping to script it into an init script.

1. boot
2. git pull
3. perform install
4. exec

I see, you need a non-interactive mode to install.pl. Are you primarily concerned about getting signature updates? If so, you can use 'fwsnort --update-rules'.

Its mostly for limited accessible machines to be "hands off" as much as possible. I tweaked it already to do a rule pull
