Apr 16, 2021 at 11:58 comment added Dipto Thanks. But what I found is tcpdump -r /Path/to/pcap is able to follow the file in realtime as it is. May be OP is facing another problem superuser.com/questions/735017/…
Apr 13, 2021 at 23:08 comment added rudimeier @Dipto I guess you could simply two or more of these pipe command lines in backround. ( tail -c +1 -f a.pcap | tcpdump -l -r - & tail -c +1 -f b.pcap | tcpdump -l -r - & )
Apr 9, 2021 at 13:14 comment added Dipto This will not work when we want to read from multiple files, what will be the solution for tcpdump -l -r file1,file2 e.g. ? tail -c +1 -f file1 -f file2 | tcpdump -l -r - will not work since tail will output some extra lines while tailing multiple files
