      Looked at Status / Services and found:

      snort Snort IDS/IPS Daemon Stopped

      Tried restarting and got this message:

      Jul 12 16:16:12 Snort Startup 18781 Snort START for WAN -Snort(1273_em0)…

      Jul 12 16:16:13 snort 18841 FATAL ERROR: /usr/local/etc/snort/snort_1273_em0/snort.conf(169) => Unable to open the
      IIS Unicode Map file '/usr/local/etc/snort/unicode.map'.

      Look in /usr/local/etc/snort/ and no unicode.map file.

      Any suggestion on fixing this?  Thanks.

        Not sure what happened, but tried restarting the service again a third time and it says that it is running now.
