You can use this tool to
create and edit scheduled capturing tasks. This is useful when you
want CommView to start and/or stop capturing when you're not
around, for example, at night or on weekends. To add a new task,
click Tools
=>
Scheduler,
and then click on the Add
button.
Use the
Start capturing frame to specify the date
and time when CommView will start capturing. Use the
Adapter
drop-down list
to specify the adapter that should be used. Use the
Stop
capturing frame to specify the date
and time when CommView will stop capturing. You don't necessarily
have to check both Start
capturing and Stop
capturing boxes. If you check only
the first box, capturing would go on until you manually stop it. If
you check only the second box, you'd have to start capturing
manually, but then CommView would automatically stop capturing at
the specified time.
If CommView is already
capturing packets at the time when the scheduled task is due and if
the adapter you specified is different from the adapter currently
being monitored, CommView will stop capturing, switch to the
adapter you specified, and restart capturing.
It is important to
understand that the scheduled tasks can be performed only when
CommView is running.
