As I understand the problem - you can't specify custom date format via command line ? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "netsniff-ng" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to netsniff-ng+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout.
