Is there a way to tell snort to load new rules without any downtime? I have many rules and will be adding new rules automatically. I don’t want to be down for 2 minutes while snort restarts every time a new rule is added. Thanks.

You’ll find some answers in the Snort Users Manual.

Read section "2.9 Reloading a Snort Configuration".
