C-h f shell-command: shell-command is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `simple'. (shell-command COMMAND &optional OUTPUT-BUFFER ERROR-BUFFER) Execute string COMMAND in inferior shell; display output, if any. With prefix argument, insert the COMMAND's output at point. If COMMAND ends in ampersand, execute it asynchronously. The output appears in the buffer `*Async Shell Command*'. That buffer is in shell mode. ... ... So, adding an "&" at the end of the command should do the trick?
