Hi Tyler, Thanks for the reply. I typed the port incorrectly .. (that 4 shouldn't have turned up after 6). When I tried the command, wireshark gave me a debug console indicating the arguments that are available for use with it(may be the syntax is incorrect). Here is what I tried:
wireshark -f 'udp port 34678' tshark gave this output and quit with the above command: tshark: Capture filters were specified both with "-f" and with additional command-line arguments Thanks.
