That works fine in Terminal, but Rev still waits for the command to finish. Quite stupid, really.
Under Windows, there is a "start" command that can be jury-rigged to do this. Not sure how to handle it under OS X/*nix (believe me, I've been trying to figure that one out too).

It depends... do you need to get data back from shell or is it purely an
"execute this command" situation?
the output from that unix call to a text file. My hope was to somehow have
Rev start up the disk imaging call process, get control back immediately, and
have Revolution read that text file every 5 seconds to check on the status.
It's the "getting control back immediately" part that's presently the problem.
Since the same issue occurs when executing the call in Terminal, I know
it's not Rev's fault. I guess I could just use some unix advice on
sublaunching
processes.
My understanding is that if you put a "&" after the command for the
terminal, it causes it to become asynchronous and immediately return. I
haven't tried it yet, though. You'll need to use the "sh" shell, however.
Here's where I got that info:

Give it a shot and let us know if it works...
