SNORT - start service and it stops on the interface

[dctr_mas]

Under Status - Services if I manually start the SNORT service when I go to the interface it shows as not running. If I start it from the interface it stops running the service.

Using snort 2.8.6.1 package

You should not use the services->status for snort since it does not work in the way you expect since snort might have more that one process running.
