Stop cycling capture with tshark

[Helge Kruse <Helge.Kruse () gmx net>]

I have setup a stress test with a network device. After some hours or
days I experience a failure. The device still responds to ICMP echo
and similar but the protocol under test is not working anymore. I
would like to know what happend before and at the failure.

I use tshark to capture the traffic as

  tshark -w file.pcap -b filesize:100000 -b files:8 host 10.0.01

The test program at my Windows PC identfies the problem. But tshark
will continue and the files are overwritten after a period of time
because not all of the traffic stops.

How can I stop tshark from a different process?

Regards
Helge
