Hello, This topic has been covered several months ago but, the solution isn't working for me and it don't know how to post to the old discussion, hence the new post. If I run the following from Finder the program runs and the terminal process ends. Launched from Quicksilver the program starts but Quicksilver is not available until after I close the launched program (a Java program). iReport.sh.command #!/bin/bash cd $(dirname $0)/bin ./startup.sh $* & exit I also tried the following executed from terminal. Again it started the program and the terminal was not tied up while the program was running. But when launched from Quicksilver it does not return control back to Quicksilver until the launched program ends. (I believe I tried it with "exit" at the end too). iReport.sh #!/bin/bash cd $(dirname $0)/bin ./startup.sh $* & Finally, I made the following AppleScript (per suggestion on first discussion) but again Quicksilver does not become responsive until after the launched program completes. iReport.scpt do shell script "/Apps/iReport-1.3.3/bin/startup.sh $* &" In the case of the AppleScript if I run it from the Script Editor it starts the program but the Script Editor is tied up. Any advice would be appreciated. Peter
