Re: how to start Wireshark automatically at each boot-up?

If your looking to monitor startup traffic from the box I would think it would be better to setup Wireshark on another 
system and attach that box to a hub / tap / span port / ect. That way you can get everything that happens on boot.  If 
you don't know when the system will reboot you can also set up a ring buffer for the capture so it will always be 
running with out killing your disk space.
Just a thought

Please advise me how you could start Wireshark automatically and use it to monitor network traffic at each boot-up.

Just add the line "wireshark&" to /etc/rc.local
