Maybe you can start the program as a (quite) background process?

	snort -q &

If you encounter issues related to "controlling terminal disconnect",
you can use the system's "daemon" command to basically do what -D
would do, or use the port "detach".

	daemon snort -q

See "man daemon" for options you might need to add.
