Currently there is no such feature in tethereal.
However, it would not be impossible to add.

On unix, one could add a signal handler for SIGUSR1 which would just call
the
tap draw routine similar to how ethereal regularly calls it.
I dont know how to do this in a portable way from win32 as well.

Alternatively, or in addition to this, it would be possible to add
somethinglike a timer
invoked by something like  -z tap,update,3   to cause a timer to go off
every three seconds and
generate tap output.
Again, i dont know if it is possible to do this in a portable way.


please feel free to experiment and try something along these lines.

Hi, is there a way to get tethereal to dump the statistics its been
gathering via the -z switches without actually terminating the tethereal
process?

Thanks
