Hi all

According what we've seen in our tests, the '-a' option requires the reception of at least one single message during the sniffing period when the "duration" option is being used for finishing in the expected time.

Our situation requires that the capture is finished in the specified time, even if its empty. Is there any known workaround?

Thanks in advance&&Regards
Jose Manuel
