Has wireshark stopped supporting capture from a fifo recently?
I'm sure I used to be able to do things like the following:
$ mkfifo fifo
$ (cat cap; sleep 5; cat cap) > fifo &
$ tshark -i fifo
But it now dies after the first batch of packets with "tshark: Error
while capturing packets: Error reading from pipe: Resource temporarily
unavailable".
Is this something that has changed recently? It's pretty useful for
doing captures on remote boxes (which don't have wireshark installed) by
piping the output of tcpdump over ssh.
Cheers
Richard
