Re: automate capture feature

[Martin Visser <martinvisser99 () gmail com>]

While you can do what Tal says, you can do this easily in Wireshark. Before
you capture, Capture->Options menu.  Under the Capture File(s) section,
enter a File name, example mycapture.pcap and then select the Multiple Files
checkbox and only select Next File every 1 minute. You can option specify
when you want to stop.

Wireshark then will create a new file every minute called something like
mycapture_00001_20100417131441.pcap (where the first set of digits is a
serial number and the second is contracted form of the date.

Simple!
