           Summary: Autostop Doesn't Work
           Product: Wireshark
           Version: 0.99.5
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Low
         Component: TShark
        AssignedTo: wireshark-bugs@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
        ReportedBy: cjorsinger@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

tshark doesn't stop after writing 10 files when the following is entered:

tshark -q -a filesize:10000 -a files:10 -w foo_eth0 -i eth0

it does, however, maintain a ring buffer of 10 files with the following:

tshark -q -b filesize:10000 -b files:10 -w foo_eth0 -i eth0

I've tried every variation I can think of for the autostop commands, and
nothing works. It complains when I enter the "files:10" without defining a
filesize, however. I want it to stop writing after ten files have been written
(or whatever files:X defines). This seems to make sense, otherwise why have the
files: parameter?
