2017-07-03Add option to use wall-clock intervalsHEADmasterSake Blok1-4/+7
Add the "interval" option to "-b". Each new capture starts at the exact start of a time interval. For instance, using -b interval:3600 will start a new capture file at each whole hour. Changed the duration option in the GUI interfaces to use the new interval option.
