Re: dumpcap process stopped

[Jaap Keuter <jaap.keuter () xs4all nl>]

Hi,

You should probably read the manual page of dumpcap. You’re running it in multiple files mode.
It is supposed to work this way. You may want to consider adding -b files:<value> to define the number of capture files 
to store to prevent exhausting your storage.
If configured this way you can indeed run it for an extended period. Personally I’ve run it for a couple of months on a 
production network like this.

Thanks,
Jaap
