Thanks!

That is exactly what I needed Thanks! At first it was counting down and then starting the capture, but I just added an "&" and she works great!

NAME
kismet_drone - Wireless sniffing and monitoring remote drone SYNOPSIS
kismet_drone [-svh] [-f config-file] [-c capture-source] [-C enable-capture-sources] [-p port] [-a allowed-hosts] [-N server-name] DESCRIPTION
kismet_drone supports all the capture sources available to Kismet. Instead of processing packets locally, kismet_drone makes them avail- able via TCP to a remote kismet_server using the 'drone' capture source. USAGE
kismet_drone should be configured as you would kismet_server. All logging, packet dissection, etc will take place on the remote kismet server using the 'drone' capture source. kismet_monitor should be used to place capture sources into rfmonitor mode as needed, and kismet_hopper should be used for channel hopping. kismet_drone is controlled by the kismet_drone.conf config file. ENCRYPTION
It may be desireable to encrypt the packet stream between the remote drone and the kismet system. Standard SSH packet tunneling or any other tunneling/forwarding system may be used, and is recommended. SEE ALSO
