On Windows? In UNIX, you can cleanly stop tethereal by sending it SIGTERM, but that mechanism isn't available in Windows - and the person who asked the question is running on Windows.

Yipes, I wasn't aware of that. I assumed that it would act the same way as Unix.

In that case, he could run tethereal constantly into a file, and use a Python/Perl script to catch the relevant parts of the file. That's not as easy as what he wanted, but it would have a similar result.
