Currently there is no such feature in tethereal. However, it would not be impossible to add.
On unix, one could add a signal handler for SIGUSR1 which would just call the tap draw routine similar to how ethereal regularly calls it. I dont know how to do this in a portable way from win32 as well. Alternatively, or in addition to this, it would be possible to add somethinglike a timer invoked by something like -z tap,update,3 to cause a timer to go off every three seconds and generate tap output. Again, i dont know if it is possible to do this in a portable way. please feel free to experiment and try something along these lines. ----- Original Message ----- From: Barry Robbins To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, May 30, 2003 5:53 PM Subject: [Ethereal-users] tethereal: dump -z statistics without terminatingprocess? Hi, is there a way to get tethereal to dump the statistics its been gathering via the -z switches without actually terminating the tethereal process? Thanks
