Silent (shell-command)

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))))
