burp hangs while shell command completes

Joseph | Last updated: Aug 31, 2015 01:17PM UTC

Hello, I have an extension which calls a shell command that takes a bit to complete. After invoking this from the context menu, burpsuite hangs and resumes after the command completes. I have tried using threading to avoid the hang but have not had any luck. The extension is written in python and I am using Popen and communicate because I need certain tasks to wait until the command completes. Any tips on how I can have the command (and these tasks) run in the background while the rest of the burpsuite functionality continues? Thanks,
