Klaus, you might also consider using "open process". This can be
useful (depending on the shell command you're using) because you can
then set up a non-blocking send in time loop to monitor progress and
get the output.

Hi all,
I just found this gem in the Rev docs:
"Tip: The shell function blocks Revolution until it is completed.
If you want to run a shell
command in the background, write the shell script to a text file
then execute it with the
launch command."
But cannot get it to work.
What I did:
1. put the tempname & ".sh" into shell_file
I think "sh" is the correct suffix, since the FInder show the
"SHELL" icon for this file.
2. set the filetype to ""
3. wrote the correct shell command to url("file:" & shell_file)
4. Tried:
launch shell_file ## seems to be the right syntax but see below...
launch document shell_file
and even:
launch shell_file with "/usr/bin"
No chance.
Then I tried to execute the file directly in the terminal and got:
Permission denied
What can I do to get it to work in Rev?
Thanks in advance!
Best
