[TriLUG] OT: wireshark

[Greg Brown]

More verboseness.

I have, at my disposal, four Wireshark protocol analyzers that run Linux and
two "backups" that run Windoze.  All my Linux boxes are out in the wild
assigned to various problems and projects so I'm stuck with using a Windows
based Wireshark.

I see where, in the gui, I can stop a capture after a certain number of
minutes but I don't see where I can start a capture at a scheduled time from
the GUI.  So I was hoping for something GUI based as I have no idea how I
would start a capture from the command line in XP.
