Hello.
Is it possible to start a process from a "do shell script" command without having to wait for it to finish?

AppleScript is blocking on output (both stdout and stderr)
from the process. if you don't care what the process
outputs, use this:

do shell script "whatever >/dev/null 2>&1 &"

otherwise direct the output to files.
