Thanks Padraig,

I changed it a little bit, but you got me going in the right direction.
Just in case anyone is interested, the 5 minute error count will be calculated with this:

tethereal -t ad -T text -r capture.dat -z "io,stat,60,COUNT(tcp.analysis.retransmission)tcp.analysis.retransmission,COUNT(tcp.analysis.window_full)tcp.analysis.window_full,COUNT(tcp.analysis.zero_window)tcp.analysis.zero_window,COUNT(tcp.analysis.duplicate_ack)tcp.analysis.duplicate_ack" -q |tail -6 |head -5 |awk '{ print $2 "," $3 "," $4 "," $5 }' | (tr ',\n' + && echo 0) |bc

This will return the total count of retransmissions, window full, zero window and duplicate ack occurences in the last 5 minutes from the capture file.

Now to work on what to do when I get the answer I don't want...

	D.

I haven't followed the tread, but if you want to add the numbers from the shell:

tethereal output | (tr '\n,' + && echo 0) | bc
