That sounds like you're trying to use an asynchronous shell synchronously. That'll be hard. Better to change your design: just execute the command and return immediately (making sure your shell doesn't die prematurely), and implement the shell's various events for dealing with the results.

Can you elaborate on this point? It seems to me that if you just let an asynchronous shell do its thing and return, you can't count on the result as you won't know if it has completed its assigned task.
