GPL and tshark

Hi everyone,

We are building a commercial application and wish to use tshark from it in
the following way:
- wireshark will be installed sepearately from our application
- our application will use the command line interface to run tshark, giving
it a captured cap file
- our application will parse the output and use the info from it

Will that be considered as breaking up the GPL?
As far as I understand, since executing tshark is running it "from arm's
length", then this should be ok, is that correct?

Thanks,
Idan Miller
