Sweave-Lyx from terminal on Mac

In your paper "Using Sweave with Lyx" (great work bty) you pointed out that one can see the sweave error code when processing when starting lyx from the terminal. I just changed from Windows to Mac so that's new for me. Could you send me a few lines how to do that, that is how to operate lyx from terminal and sweave the content from the terminal.
I am not familiar with Mac, though would be happy to own one;) Since Mac OS is build on top of some linux/unix like system you need to start the terminal (console) with shell and find the lyx binary. Perhaps something like this on my linux box (text following $ are shell commands)

# Find the lyx binary
$ which lyx
/usr/bin/lyx

# Start lyx from console
$ lyx&
