Hello everybody,

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
