[Flow-tools] Flow-capture does not start

[fabricioavancini at serasa.com.br]

Hi Alistair,

When i run flow-capture -h, i have the same message:
[root at server bin]# /usr/local/netflow/bin/flow-capture -h
Usage: /usr/local/netflow/bin/flow-capture { start | stop }
[root at server bin]#

I use flow-capture from support files (Robert S. Galloway).

Running file flow-capture the result is:
[root at server bin]# file flow-capture
flow-capture: Bourne shell script text executable
[root at server bin]#

Any suggestion ?

Thank´s,

Fabrício Avancini

Ok this doesn't look the flow-tools flow-capture program I know and love. 
Has your version been replaced by a bash script or some such.

What do you get when you run flow-capture -h ?

I get:
[flows at flow] /home/flows% ll  /usr/local/netflow/bin/flow-capture
