[Ethereal-users] Run Ethereal as a Windows Service

Title: Run Ethereal as a Windows Service

Is there anyway to have ethereal or tethereal run as a windows service when the computer starts up? It would be a lot easier on me to have it do that than to have to restart it everytime I reboot the computer.

If it can't run as a windows service can somebody point me to a sniffer than can sniff packets and log it to a file that can be viewed by ethereal?

Another question. Is it possible to use ethereal to view a packet capture file that is being written to at the same time? i.e.: Like when ethereal is capturing packets and displays them in real time.

Thanks!
