I think you have to redirect stdout and stderr to a file (or to /dev/null if you wish). Something like: $REPOS/hooks/delay.sh 2>&1 >logfile & should do the trick. I do this with my post-commit hook as well (for sending out commit emails, don't want that to delay the commit), and it works perfectly. Cheers, -- Johan
