Regarding TM's adherence to unix philosophy, it seems weird to me one cannot execute a command in background. Setting output to "Discard" is supposed to do just that, while it actually freezes TM until command exits.
Did you try to use a final '&' in your command?
e.g.: 'curl bla foo &'
"Discard" only means that nothing will show up to the user.
