I have a running capture in wireshark (mojave os). I clicked on stop capture but it keeps capturing packets, the number of packets keep increasing. I have turned off the wireless and the data capture continues. I cannot save the file. Could be a RAM lag. How can one stop the ongoing capture from the command line?

That's a bug. Please report it at the Wireshark Bugzilla, so we can try to determine the cause and fix it.
