I'm working with version 0.99.3a on Solaris (see version.txt).

 

I try to tell wireshark to work with a ring buffer, like this :

 

wireshark -k -w output -b files:10 -b filesize:10 -i /PLAT/data/ss7monitoring/online/k5_0005.pipe -o gui.window_title:"V1.0.60_ProfileID_5" --display=...

But this doesn't seem to work. The first file is OK, but then wireshark creates a lot of small files :

 

-rw-------   1 be083074 cc_users   10376 nov 23  2006 output_00001_20061123131915
-rw-------   1 be083074 cc_users     110 nov 23  2006 output_00002_20061123131935
-rw-------   1 be083074 cc_users     144 nov 23  2006 output_00003_20061123131935
-rw-------   1 be083074 cc_users     110 nov 23  2006 output_00004_20061123131935
-rw-------   1 be083074 cc_users     144 nov 23  2006 output_00005_20061123131935
-rw-------   1 be083074 cc_users      24 nov 23  2006 output_00006_20061123131935

 

I found Bug 895 that seems to describe this problem, but it also says that this is solved in version 0.99.2.

 

Am I doing something wrong or is this bug not fixed in the version I use ??

 

 

Best regards,
