"why bother calling a
separate script at all?"
Because, I don't want the capture files written over if tshark is launched multiple times in a short period of time.
Thank you for the -b option. I believe I need that.

Subject: Re: [tclug-list] bash script not working properly
I suspect that the wait has something to do with it, is the idea to
wait for the tshark to complete?
I would use a sleep 5 before calling movit.sh. speaking of which, why
now put the mv commands at the end of the ts.sh? why bother calling a
separate script at all?
Finally, you should be using the -b option to tshark to put it in
multiple output mode to collect pcaps over time something like -b
duration:60
