[PLUG] can i fork a process in the bash shell?


Specifically, I want to kick off a delete of a huge directory and in the mean time interact with the user a bit more. Only when i know the delete is complete I want to continue doing the rest of the script actions. 

I don't know how to pull that off in bash. Any help would be appreciated.

Nick
