Multiple simultaneous SNiFF+ sessions

You can have multiple SNiFF+ sessions running at the same time. In order for you to start a new SNiFF+ session, type the following on the command line:

sniff -s <sniff_session_name>
<sniff_session_name> is a session id that uniquely identifies each SNiFF+ session. Note that the session id is a string and cannot contain any blank spaces within it.
If you start SNiFF+ without the -s option, the value of the SNIFF_SESSION_ID environment variable is used by default for the session id (see below). If SNIFF_SESSION_ID is not set, session0 is used for the session id.
SNIFF_SESSION_ID
The SNIFF_SESSION_ID environment variable is set to uniquely specify a SNiFF+ session. When you set this variable, the session id of your next SNiFF+ session will be automatically set to the value of this variable. To set the value of SNIFF_SESSION_ID environment variable , type the following on the command line:
setenv SNIFF_SESSION_ID <sniff_session_name>
<sniff_session_name> uniquely identifies each SNiFF+ session. It is a string and cannot contain any blank spaces.
