Hi all,

 Sorry for the stupid question but if I remember well suricata can
process offline pcap files. I have tried with "-r" switch without
luck, returns the following error:

6/10/2014 -- 13:42:24 - <Info> - 18 rule files processed. 13253 rules
successfully loaded, 0 rules failed

Please use --list-runmodes to see available custom types for this

Suricata release is 1.4.7 (yes I know, I need to upgrade to 2.0.x).
What am I doing wrong?
