Re: running multiple instances

Could it also relate to cap vs. pcap file? I tried 145KB .cap file and it ran fine but a 130KB .pcap file stalls tshark 
as well. In addition, these commands are done using Python and that's when the errors occurs. If I perform the commands 
from the command prompt, it runs fine.
