[Flow-tools] killed all flow-capture processes, but can't restart on previously specified port...(?)

[Christian Vo]

Hi Joe,
 
This is how I've been running it previously
 
/usr/local/flow-tools/bin/flow-capture -p /flows/pids/flowcapture1.pid
-w /flows/router1  -E4000M -S3 0/0/2055
 
after killing this process (kill -TERM...)
 
I tried to do this:
/usr/local/flow-tools/bin/flow-capture -p /flows/pids/flowcapture1.pid
-w /flows/all_devices -E4000M -S3 0/0/2055
 
and it wouldn't start...

Christian, 

Can you show us the syntax of your flow-capture command? 

Thanks, 

Joe

hi, 
I may have missed something in the docs, but I'd really appreciate if
someone can help with the following: 
  
currently running flow-tools.0.68-1, and I was successfully capturing
data. 
stopped my flow-capture processes, with the intention of just exporting
from my network devices to one dest. port. 
  
when I try to restart my flow-capture process I get the following under
/var/log/messages: 
  
2007-12-20T02:10:37-08:00 netmon flow-capture[6574]:
setsockopt(size=4194304)
2007-12-20T02:10:37-08:00 netmon flow-capture[6574]: bind(0.0.0.0):
Address already in use 
  
not sure what to check.. I know I don't have any flow capture processes
remaining... 
google'd the  error message, but no solutions seem to pop up.. 
  
pls help, thx
