I know I've done this before - but lemme state what I'm doing. I'm needing to run a bash script on an external server from a Mystic MPL. I setup SSH keys and I can run the script with a;

ssh user@x.x.x.x "bash /some/bash/script.sh"

But I don't want the USER to wait on that command to finish. (It imports URLs a user enters into my ArchiveBox archive, but takes some minutes to finish...)

So if I was just gonna run the command on the BBS CLI, I think I could just do;

ssh user@x.x.x.x "bash /some/bash/script.sh" &

.... is there some way I can successfully do this from the MPL? ... the MPL runs that above command and the script keeps running, and finishes, but the user gets dumped out before its done?

Or, I could call the script NOT in MPL, from a separate Mystic menu command just after the MPL completes - that might be easier?

Thats IF Mystic will run the script and drop out with the addition of "&" on the end. Anyway, if you know the answer to my questions pls reply. :P
