You could probably make it not wait by appending an ampersand (&) to the
end of the command?

You could also look into send the client status info like the old NPH cgi scripts did. If it's possible, you could take an email address from the user, and add the request to a queue stored in a database (or simply lock a file when you append to the queue). The have a cron job running every minute or so that looks at the queue and builds the .iso and emails the user when it's done.<BR>
