Hi

 

I am trying to get Ethereal 0.99.0 to kick off at a predetermined time via the Windows Task Scheduler.  The command line string is

 

Ethereal.exe –Q –k –a duration:1200 –w c:\Temp\Ethereal.cap

 

The task fires up on time, Ethereal starts and the capture begins successfully.  However, at some time thereafter Ethereal fails at location 0 with code 80000007.  The dumpcap process carries merrily on capturing data – it has to be killed via Task Manager.

 

The server is running Windows 2003 Server Standard, at SP1 plus hotfixes.  The logonid used in the scheduled task is a domain admin

 

Am I doing something wrong?

 

John Day
