getting the stats through -z io, stat for extended time

[sean bzd <seanbzd () gmail com>]

Hi Wireshark Experts,
I would like to use the tshark command to get some stats and I want to let
it run for an extended time.

when I do something like this from the command line:

tshark -i 3 -l -z "io,stat,1,tcp,udp" -w C:\temp.pcap -b filesize:1000 -b
files:1000


and after running few mins, if I hit CTRL+C, the output is flushed to the
stdout with stats for 'each' second in a separate line. so far so good. But
if I want to do run this for few hours and do a CTRL+C, i will be only left
with 9999 lines because thats the limit of the windows command buffer
window.
If I pipe it to a file like this: tshark -i 3 -l -z "io,stat,1,tcp,udp" -w
C:\temp.pcap -b filesize:1000 -b files:1000 > abc.txt
for some reason, the output in abc.txt contains stats for only initial few
secs (don't know why). I tried this without the option (-l), but same
problem.

What can i do to capture the stats for an extended period of time. Please
advise. Thanks.
