Thanks for the pointer - this is exactly the problem which I have been
having. (Having tested further, it looks like the restarts may have
been a red herring.)
What is the purpose of -a along with -b?
You may have a look at the manpage/HTML page about dumpcap. If you can't
find one, use http://www.ethereal.com/docs/man-pages/ethereal.1.html
instead, as the meaning of these parameters are the same for dumpcap and
Ethereal.
Simplified: -a specifies when to stop the whole capture process while -b
is the criteria when to switch to a new file.
