i actually meant what i wrote ...

Code:
( /dir/script < /dev/null & )

the way you wrote yours connects your script to your current shell as well as sending any output to /dev/null ... the way i wrote mine, the script takes input from /dev/null while the output goes wherever it needs to go ...

good luck!
