I hope I'm not totally off topic here.

I've got an installer in Rev that has to start a process under OS X using the shell function. I'm able to get the process to start just fine using a command line script. But the problem I'm having is this particular process does not return any value when started, and the shell command is not exiting because of this (at least that's what I assume is happening). So my script just kind of hangs at that point. The process I'm starting is the Valentina database server.

So what I'm looking for is a way to run my script, which starts the process, but include in my script something that says, "Okay, I'm finished now", and will allow my handler to go on at that point. This is the current script I'm running with the shell function:

#!/bin/sh
pw=[PasswordHere] -- this is obtained earlier with an authentication dialog
echo $pw | sudo -S /Library/RNSEServer/RNSEServer &
exit

What if you replaced this line as follows:

echo $pw | sudo -S /usr/bin/nohup /Library/RNSEServer/RNSEServer &
