Accepted Answer

Try

open /Applications/Wireshark.app

instead.

At the command line (UN*X, like OS X, or Windows), spaces are significant; they separate the command from its arguments and separate the arguments from one another. The command is open, and the argument is /Applications/Wireshark.app (the trailing slash isn't necessary).

(The same answer was given when you asked on Stack Overflow.)

This is not a Wireshark question, it's a "how do I use the open command" question; the same answer would apply to trying to open anything else with the open command. You can also open it, of course, by double-clicking on the Wireshark icon in the /Applications folder.

You also don't need to use xterm; OS X has its own command-window program, Terminal.
