Is there a replacement for the Q cli option.

Wireshark 0.99.6 CLI had -Q option that caused Wireshark to exit when capture is complete. I have to use wireshark and not tshark because I'm capturing from a virtual device. It's running headless on a Raspberry Pi so I have to use the CLI. I stop capture with the -aduration: option, which works, but wireshark never exits. I could run a zombie killer, I suppose, but it would be so much nicer if it would just exit when done. Is there a way to do that?
