That's because there's no way to do that in Ethereal or tcpdump itself. Perhaps somebody's constructed some way to start a capture program based on a threshold such as that, e.g. a way to start a command if a network traffic rate goes above a certain level. If so, that could be used to start tcpdump, Tethereal, or Ethereal (yes, you can start an Ethereal capture from the command line - see the "-k" flag). I don't of any such way myself, however. _______________________________________________ Ethereal-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ethereal.com/mailman/listinfo/ethereal-users
