Vague memory: I tried using "&" long ago on OS X and didn't have
much luck. Maybe I was doing something goofy. Or maybe it was the
virtual serial I didn't get working... Worth a try.
Is "?" available on Windows?

You might try something like:
get shell("mylongcommand > output.txt &")
This should redirect the output to a file and return immediately.
It's not as clean as triggering a "done" message with new syntax
would be, but it may be workable. You might try searching the
archives - I seem to recall discussing this one many moons ago...

Very good idea!
Do you fill an enhancement in Revzilla? If not I'll do it, let me

I cannot figure out how to implement that. Have you a sample script?

You can use a full command line when you open a process. You can open it for neither and wait for it to be missing from the open processes. If you would rather use shell on Windows, there is also "start". That might do what you want.

Re: Shells - non-blocking?
Roughly how would this work? Lets give an example a "svn commit" - the idea is to do a regular svn backup without interupting development scripting for instance - so I want an asynchronous backup interface rather than having to wait a second or two every few minutes for results to come back from the online repository. A shell script or shell command... can this be opened generally as a process? Or is it as i thought - only something that is occasionally coded into the application / code / script / shell command - ( whatever you call it :) by the author of the program? And what would be the relation betwenn writing to that process and the params you would send on the command line? ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

You might be able to build something like that with processes (see
open process etc in the doc). Three or four years ago I found a lot
of communication problems with processes on Windows, but I'm also
finding this year some things fixed that were not-a-bug back then.
If you don't need a response or can pass it through a file, then the
process can work.
