I am trying to run Wireshark on Mac OS X, on the background. I did install the command line utilities, and so I am able to start wireshark and capture packet using the command line. The only thing I want now is to run it on the background, without even having the X11 icon on the task bar and see the window of wireshark. I believe it is possible but can't find anything on the doc of Wireshark.
Maybe another way would be to find a trick to hide an icon on Mac OS X...
If anybody already did that or have an idea...
Thank you
Please excuse my English which is not perfect at all

As far as I remember TShark comes with all distributions of Wireshark. This runs from the command line.
The documentation for it is tshark documentation
And there's some examples on how to use it here

Hello i am using MAC Mavericks system.i have installed wireshark .dmg and x11 .dmg(xquartz) .But when i try to open wireshark in Xterm ,using the command
bash-3.2$ open/Applications/Wireshark.app/
i get the following error message.
bash: open/Applications/Wireshark.app/: No such file or directory.
Actually i can see a blue icon called wireshark in my applications folder,but i get the above error message instead of the wireshark program.
Am i missing something?Please give some suggestions on installation of Wireshark on MAC Mavericks?
I am a newbie in wireshark.please help me .
As Dagg Nabbit said, place a space after open; the command to open a file from the command line is
open {file}
so, to open /Applications/Wireshark.app, do
open /Applications/Wireshark.app

I'm guessing this should be easy but I can't work anything out.
I'm using terminal on my Mac (latest OS). I'm connecting to a web server and running this command:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
I then see the config file. I can change things, but for the life of my I can't save it. I can see the list of options highlighted at the bottom saying use ^X to exit and I've tried :w! etc. but nothing. The problem seems to be whatever I type is being used as changes to the file, so some how I need to type into terminal but not as an edit to the file.
If I close the terminal then everything is ignored, so that won't work.
I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS if that means anything.
I bet this is easy, but it's really frustrating for me.
^X means to press the control key and X rather than type it in.

I use meld on Linux and I am able to compare two pieces of text without having to save them in files. Is there something similar for Mac and Windows?
BBEdit for macOS does a nice diff of either files on disk or documents being edited.
That would allow you to make two empty docs, paste your text into each of them and run the diff.
BBEdit is a paid-for app, but it has a free mode that will let you do what you are looking for.
The meld tool has been ported to Mac OS X and is available via "fink".
Another link is this one.
You will need to install fink first however, and I believe you can get started here.

I'm using 2 Displays with Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and I would like to have a keyboard shortcut to move the active window from one display to another (not space).
I just found answers for moving between spaces or one hint for windows:
https://superuser.com/questions/62603/keyboard-shortcut-for-moving-window-to-another-screen
I use SizeUp, which has this feature and lots of other useful window management abilities.
I use Divvy. Very good application if you have many screens and many windows open. There are always apps like Cinch which may be able to help.
I use Better Snap Tool.
Power Mover 2 is great for moving windows between displays with the keyboard.

Trying to use Vim in Mac's Terminal.app but it's unusable, terminal is only refreshing line or column where the cursor is, so scrolling is quite bizarre. Text is being updated only on the line where the cursor is, but the rest is not changing. Very weird behavior, I've seen this on linux too, with nvidia driver, the bufferes somehow were not updated. It's driving me crazy, and forces me to use MacVim all the time.
The weird factor here, it only happens when I run Vim inside GNU screen, otherwise it works just fine.
try MacVim :)
