Wireshark · Ethereal-users: [Ethereal-users] Automate Testing

[fonte fonte <fonte_monte@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,
  
  I'm using a software that automate dial up and FTP download through  series of commands. For a few download sessions (Dial Up - FTP Get -  Hang Up), these commands are repeated in a loop. My questions are:
  
  1) In order to capture from the beginning of a session, I have to start  Ethereal before the execution of the commands. However, I can't select  the appropriate interface because no dial up interface can be detected  yet until the commands run. I notice an interface option - Generic Dial  Up Adapter that I think I can use as my Interface Option for capture  before I run the commands. Can I 'safely' use this and it will not in  any way affect the capture data?
  
  2) Since I run many sessions continuously, how can I 'chop up' the Ethereal capture data according to these sessions?
  
  Thanks and Have Nice Weekend
