Description

Suricata provides a UNIX control socket for communicating with the running binary process. Switch to this more robust mechanism using the suricatasc utility for signalling in-memory rule swaps/updates, log file reopening after log file rotations, and Suricata process shutdown.

I will implement this in an upcoming GUI package update.
