Re: bash script not working properly

Could the problem be with the way you need to make files in rapid 
succession, changing their names and sometimes not getting that done fast 
enough?  Could you switch the order around a bit like this?:

DATE=$(date +%F-%H:%M:%S)
touch /home/raymond/${DATE}.pcapng
tshark -i enp1s0 -a duration:60 -w /home/raymond/${DATE}.pcapng
echo "All Done!"

I dropped the 1 from the filename and added seconds so that doing more 
than one per minute isn't a problem.  It's just one script instead of two. 
If another starts before an earlier one finishes, you probably won't have 
a problem.
