Use tshark -i 1 -w Outputfile.pcap -q &
instead. The -q
flag says to be super-quiet and & will run the process in the background so that the command prompt will not get overwritten

Question
I am trying to capture traffic with tshark from the CLI with something like this:
tshark -i 1 -w Outputfile.pcap
If I execute this command the prompt does not return as the tshark provides me with information on packet count and saves the packet info in the file "Outputfile.pcap". What I want is to get the prompt back, if possible. So, that I could execute more commands without opening up another terminal on the remote server. I have tried using the "&" at the end to run the process in background, the command prompt returns but the packet count continues to overwrite the commands that I am typing and I can not see anything :(
Does anyone know a way to resolve this issue?
