Ah, no, it doesn't. But this does:
do shell script
"/path/to/my/script.sh </dev/null >/dev/null 2>&1 &"
You can replace the second /dev/null with the path to a log file if you
want to capture the script's output rather than discarding it.

Does this do the right thing?
do shell script "/path/to/my/script.sh &"
I have a shell script that I would like to run from a folder action
script.
Basically i have a hot folder, that moves files to another drive when
they are dropped in there. It occasionally calls on the finder for some
things which I also want to avoid by using a shell script.
so my applescript script in the folder actions will basically just say
on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving these_items
do shell script "/path/to/my/script.sh"
end adding folder items to
What I would REALLY like to do is have the script run, without folder
actions waiting until the shell script is finished.
I know this kind of question has been asked before... But don't
remember the answer ;)
thanks
Wayne
