I the script is hanging because it's waiting for a response from the shell script. Others, as Paul said, will know better what the response must be, but my recollection that it is a 0 if the operation completed successfully, and an error number if not. Perhaps what's needed is a "fake" response as part of the script.

'ignoring application responses' only operates if you are directing a
command to an _application_ other than the one running the script. 'do shell
script' does not target an application, so it cannot apply there. I think
there might be some way to tell a 'do shell script' to ignore its result by
redirecting it to the error stream or something like that - others here will
know. (It involves adding a redirection to the end of the command.) Perhaps
that might have the same effect of not waiting for the result; but having said that - I don't think it's a good idea.
