Silent (shell-command)

[Marcelo de Moraes Serpa]

Hi list,

Is there a way to run a shell-command without emacs creating any kind of output buffer when it's completed? I've tried using "&" but the buffer just changes to "Async Output Buffer". I'd just like emacs to silently run the command in the background, preferably without blocking. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

- Marcelo.

(global-set-key [remap shell-command]
(lambda ()
(interactive)
(let ((display-buffer-overriding-action (cons (lambda (_1 _2) 'rms) nil)))

(call-interactively 'shell-command))))
