Hi all, I tried executing the command tshark -qz hosts to retrieve all the IPtoHOST pertaining to a particular web click. I got the information i am looking for and at the same time i am seeing following error message: (tshark.exe:1204): CaptureChild-WARNING : sync_pipe_stop: forcing child to exit** If possible please let me know the reason behind this error message. asked 15 Mar '13, 22:36  krishnayeddula |
One Answer:
Looking at the source code, this message is generated when tshark (on Windows) tried to terminate the capture process gracefully, but failed within 500ms and therefor tshark terminates the capture process the hard way and logs this message. answered 16 Mar '13, 01:37  SYN-bit ♦♦ |
SYN-bit,thanks for the reply.This message is happening at the middle of the output which is little distracting.Will logging a bug makes sense?
What was your complete tshark command? And could it be that tshark ran out of memory while capturing? How long was tshark capturing and what was the bandwidth on the interface?
