Perhaps, but you could've given us more details about what
happens/doesn't happen the way you expect with it?
I'll take a guess though...

First problem: You want to put the comments inside quotes,
"[Run this msg through snort-stat]". I didn't try but I suspect it
might not even parse without that.
Second problem: This may not be a problem, but there is no \n in the end
so the command will not get automatically executed, rather you'll get
the pipe-to-program prompt with all of that text pre-typed in and just
waiting for you to press enter. This may be what you want (so you can
edit the line before you press enter), but if you want it auto-execute,
add the \n.
Hope this helps,
Mikko
