Can I get Wireshark to capture constantly, but not count to infinity ?

[Gregorio Tomas Focaccio <public.focaccio () gmail com>]

Hello,

I'm setting up a small development / study network and I would like
Wireshark to be constantly capturing, aside from pauses to reconfigure.   I
want Wireshark to capture N packets or N megabytes worth of data or for N
minutes and then, when it reaches N+1, to clear everything but keep
capturing starting with a clean slate.  Is this possible?

I'm worried that with default settings a continuous capture will overload
the memory resources of the server.   Is there a way to define a maximum
memory allocation for captured data?

Thanks,
Greg
