Can I get Wireshark to capture constantly, but not count to infinity ?

Hello, I'm setting up a small development / study network and I would like Wireshark to be constantly capturing, aside from pauses to reconfigure. I want Wireshark to capture N packets or N megabytes worth of data or for N minutes and then, when it reaches N+1, to clear everything but keep capturing starting with a clean slate. Is this possible? I'm worried that with default settings a continuous capture will overload the memory resources of the server. Is there a way to define a maximum memory allocation for captured data? Thanks, Greg
