I did this in one of my programs and it seemed to work just fine:
system("$command &");
Which, I believe, runs your command in the background and lets you return to
your program. (Please correct me if I am wrong). This will only work on
*nix systems.

Is it possible when making a call to the system, using the system command
our back ticks to have a script exit/finish
with out hanging around for a return from the process handed to the system.
cheers all
