Send job to Background after input redirection

Hi,
I am having issues with syntax when I am trying to send a job to the background after a input redirection.
I have this script which sends some files to different servers after zipping them. Once I execute it, it will ask for user input as of which server the files need to go to. (The filenames and location are coded for in the script)
The script comes out of the execution if no input is passed within 5 secs.

Code:
send_files.ksh <enter> 
Choose destination ->
                     etl1
                     etl2
                     etl3
                     etl4
                     ALL #to send to All servers

I execute this script using the following:
Code:
send_files.ksh > $LOG/Sep21.log 2>&1 <<EOF
 ALL
 EOF

By doing that, the script waits at prompt until it finishes execution.
For it to not wait until execution completes I was trying to submit this job in the background but i am not able to figure out a syntax for the same.

I have tried the following and it runs without taking in the 'ALL' input.
Code:
send_files.ksh > $LOG/Sep21.log 2>&1  & <<EOF
> ALL
> EOF

Any help would be much appreciated.

GearmanClient::jobStatus - Get the status of a background job

       Object oriented style (method):

SYNOPSIS
public array GearmanClient::jobStatus (string $job_handle) DESCRIPTION
Gets the status for a background job given a job handle. The status information will specify whether the job is known, whether the job is currently running, and the percentage completion. PARAMETERS
o $job_handle - The job handle assigned by the Gearman server RETURN VALUES
An array containing status information for the job corresponding to the supplied job handle. The first array element is a boolean indicat- ing whether the job is even known, the second is a boolean indicating whether the job is still running, and the third and fourth elements correspond to the numerator and denominator of the fractional completion percentage, respectively. EXAMPLES
Example #1 Monitor the status of a long running background job <?php /* create our object */ $gmclient= new GearmanClient(); /* add the default server */ $gmclient->addServer(); /* run reverse client */ $job_handle = $gmclient->doBackground("reverse", "this is a test"); if ($gmclient->returnCode() != GEARMAN_SUCCESS) { echo "bad return code "; exit; } $done = false; do { sleep(3); $stat = $gmclient->jobStatus($job_handle); if (!$stat[0]) // the job is known so it is not done $done = true; echo "Running: " . ($stat[1] ? "true" : "false") . ", numerator: " . $stat[2] . ", denomintor: " . $stat[3] . " "; } while(!$done); echo "done! "; ?> The above example will output something similar to: Running: true, numerator: 3, denomintor: 14 Running: true, numerator: 6, denomintor: 14 Running: true, numerator: 9, denomintor: 14 Running: true, numerator: 12, denomintor: 14 Running: false, numerator: 0, denomintor: 0 done!
