how to execute this shell script

command = SCRIPT_PATH.."/R.sh "..rfu_path..rfu_file_name.." &"
io.popen(command)

without return value?

I want to execute this shell script first. After I called this script it will runs background and my lua code move to next line.
Is it possible?

Use `os.execute` instead of `io.popen`? – Etan Reisner Mar 25 '15 at 10:24

``os.execute("(sleep 3 && echo 'Sleeped 3 seconds') &")`` – michaelmeyer Mar 25 '15 at 21:06
