Hi everybody,
   I think it would be nice to be able to update a user-defined signature file without restarting zeek, possibly using the input framework. However, I believe this is not available yet nor it seems easy to implement. After a quick look at the code, it is my understanding that the rule parsing is done for signature files using bison/yacc machinery. Signature files are loaded and parsed when starting zeek, in main.cc.

It would save me a great deal of time if somebody could tell me how easy it would be to implement this feature and point me in the right direction.

Thanks in advance,
Mauro
