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?
