Hi all,
I would like to write an AppleScript
that launches an executable in the background, and then returns
immediately. Currently I have the following,
do shell script “/Path/To/myExecutable”
&
(NOTE: myExecutable runs indefinitely waiting for input)
However, even though I specify an ampersand to
launch myExecutable in the background, my AppleScript hangs waiting for
myExecutable to terminate. Is there a way to achieve the described
behavior (my AppleScript returns immediately)?
Thanks!
Alex
