Spawning separate processes with "do shell script"


  • Subject: Spawning separate processes with "do shell script"
  • From: Adrian <email@hidden>

Hello.
Is it possible to start a process from a "do shell script" command without having to wait for it to finish?
i.e.
do shell script "something that takes forever"
-- do other stuff while something is working

Thanks,
Adrian
