Hmm, is there any additional debugging information where it could be hung?
Would strace give any details?

 Thanks for responding so quickly.  The problem appears about after an hour

 Here are the logs from nohup.out.

 Hi,

 I tried to test if at least 2 pcaps will be appeared in 1m-2m
 intervals, and they appeared and I watched them by:

 $ ls -hl

 and I checked that their sizes are changing and new files appeared.

 Would you please provide some logs from nohup ?

 It should generate some output from netsniff-ng to nohup.out file.

 If I understood correctly you said that netsniff-ng hanged after 1st 15
 min ?

 Would you try it on different netsniff-ng versions ?

 Doesit work if do not use nohup and only in foreground mode ?

 Vadim Kochan
