The trick is to create a child process after having closed standard out and then terminate the parent. The problem then becomes for the webbrowser to periodically check on the status of the child. This could be done by using a meta refresh tag which would call a second program to display the progress. The second program would continue refreshing itself until the child has completed its task.
