ATC: BACKGROUND
Legacy Warning: You almost certainly want to use ATC: INVOKE instead!
If this command appears anywhere in a ROUTE workflow script, the entire script is run in the background (even if the command is in an ATC: IF command). This command is ignored in the Workflow Library or event driven scripts.
This command delays script execution for about 20 minutes.
The script runs with elevated (system) permissions, but any exceptions or issues are very, very hard to detect — especially for the end user. Use ATC: INVOKE instead!
Example
ATC: BACKGROUND ATC: CALL TheRealWorkDoneByATC
The above example means “run the script in the background.”
