I have this problem since i updated snort

FATAL ERROR: Failed to Lock PID File "/var/log/snort/run/snort_fxp048036.pid" for PID "54297"

My snort does not start. any suggestions ? i have removed the file but it comes back and the problem persists.

Its telling you have snort running already.

In the command prompt type;

killall snort
