Sorry - I didn't complete my thought...
A background process is non-blocking. In the example below (IIRC)
"tResult" would receive the process ID from shell().

For me, the main problem is that the process is blocking. I would love
a faster alternative to Rev's FTP commands, but I can't have it
blocking everything else. Is there a way to open a process in a
non-blocking manner, perhaps by redirecting it's output to a file and
checking it every now & then to estimate progress?
Cheers,
Sarah
Hi Sarah,
What happens if you do something like this instead:
put shell("/rsynch.sh &") into tResult
In other words, can you start your script from shell() as a background
process? I've done that with a couple of different long-running apps.
