Wireshark · Wireshark-users: Re: [Wireshark-users] WIN32 AutoStart Configuration for Wireshark

[Jaap Keuter <jaap.keuter@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Why start Wireshark just to capture? I've done this before with a simple 
 command script that launches dumpcap, with some parameters for a 
circular buffer.

Thanx,
Jaap
