No capture:
-----------
# ps -ef | grep ethereal
    root 24108 24091  1 11:02:58 pts/1    0:00 ./ethereal

Capturing:
----------
# ps -ef | grep ethereal
    root 24108 24091  3 11:02:58 pts/1    0:01 ./ethereal
    root 24111 24108  2 11:03:10 pts/1    0:00 ethereal-capture -i hme0 -w /var/tmp/etherXXXX0A5sVw -W 7 -c 0 -s 65535 -m -*-l

After stopping the capture:
---------------------------
# ps -ef | grep ethereal
    root 24108 24091 14 11:02:58 pts/1    0:03 ./ethereal
