Menu Script question

I am far from a unix script programmer ..
Heres the problem ..
I have a basic menu that calls functions..

One of the functions thats called invokes
TCPDUMP

The only way I know of to stop TCPDUMP is CTRL - C

But of course when I do this it kills the script and takes me
back out to the prompt.

I want it to take me back to the menu ..

Can I use While_list? or some while do loop?

Someone here said to enclose the command with ( )
but that didn't work ..

Can someone help ??

Randy

NAME
tk_popup - Post a popup menu SYNOPSIS
tk_popup menu x y ?entry? _________________________________________________________________ DESCRIPTION
This procedure posts a menu at a given position on the screen and configures Tk so that the menu and its cascaded children can be traversed with the mouse or the keyboard. Menu is the name of a menu widget and x and y are the root coordinates at which to display the menu. If entry is omitted or an empty string, the menu's upper left corner is positioned at the given point. Otherwise entry gives the index of an entry in menu and the menu will be positioned so that the entry is positioned over the given point. EXAMPLE
How to attach a simple popup menu to a widget. # Create a menu set m [menu .popupMenu] $m add command -label "Example 1" -command bell $m add command -label "Example 2" -command bell # Create something to attach it to pack [label .l -text "Click me!"] # Arrange for the menu to pop up when the label is clicked bind .l <1> {tk_popup .popupMenu %X %Y} SEE ALSO
